About

With over 8 years of consulting experience across diverse geographies and a strong analytical engineering background, I lead high-performing teams on strategy, commercial transformation, and cost management initiatives in industries such as media, retail, grocery, financial services, and B2B SaaS. Recently, I served as a Regional Commercial Manager for Bain's Sustainability Practice, driving top-line growth for a nine-figure business and working to bridge the gap between the private sector and ESG. Having lived and worked in multiple global locations across the US and Europe, I bring a global perspective and a proven ability to help organizations tackle complex strategic and organizational challenges, drive measurable growth through change, and create a more sustainable long-term impact.
