About

I am a Product Manager in the Global Travel Retail team at Lindt & Sprüngli, based in Zurich, with end-to-end responsibility for the Napolitains and Gold Tablets portfolios. In my role, I focus on driving portfolio strategy, innovation, and performance across international markets - from ideation through to launch execution and lifecycle management. Previously, I worked as Associate Brand Manager for LINDOR at Lindt & Sprüngli USA in Boston, where I led brand initiatives, product innovation projects and KPI tracking across a highly competitive FMCG environment. Having studied and worked across Switzerland, the US and multiple European markets, I bring a strong international mindset and a deep understanding of cross‑market dynamics. I am particularly interested in building sustainable, long‑term growth strategies that balance commercial impact, innovation and brand equity.
