About

I lead transformation at the intersection of business, technology, and people. With over 15 years of experience across Digital, Retail, CRM, Finance, and Commercial operations, I’ve built a track record of turning pilot projects into long-term success stories. My strengths lie in leading diverse teams, driving innovation, and ensuring change is not only implemented but embraced. I completed an Executive Master in Management at Solvay Business School, which expanded my perspective on strategy, leadership, and value creation. I’m passionate about connecting technology and people to deliver meaningful business impact.
