About

I am a passionate strategist – enjoying to ideate, develop and deploy insights-driven growth strategies in Consumer Goods. As a specialist for FMCG and consumer-centric go-to-market strategy and execution, I thrive in leading fast-paced, agile teams to deliver holistic growth impact in complex, multinational organizations. My previous experience as a Growth Strategy Consultant allowed me to work on international accounts across sectors and industries while leading cross-functional teams with Prophet as an Engagement Manager. My earlier career delivering impact as an industrial engineer at Amazon, gave me plenty of hands-on experience in customer-centric ecommerce operations, team leadership and driving day-to-day operations as well as many continuous improvement projects. I hold M.Sc. degrees in Industrial Management from UPM Madrid, KTH Stockholm and POLIMI Milano (awarded in 2013) in addition to an MBA degree from INSEAD (awarded in 2016).
