About

Curious about how people think, choose and behave, and passionate about turning that into strategy, innovation and growth. Over the past years, I have built my career at the intersection of consumer understanding, business strategy and analytics. I have worked across multiple industries, including FMCG to Financial Services, Retail, Tech or Healthcare, leading research and insights projects on a global scale. My professional path has taken me through international roles in the UK, Italy and Spain, allowing me to develop a strong ability to manage complex, cross-market projects and to collaborate with multicultural teams and senior stakeholders. Currently, I lead the Insights & Business Development area at Salvetti&Llombart, where I design and manage strategic research initiatives, guide client relationships and identify new business opportunities. I combine a deep understanding of research methodologies with a strong business mindset, always focused on helping organisations turn insight into meaningful action and long-term value.
