About

I am a commercial transformation leader who believes that what we build, position and communicate should truly make sense. For the customer, the team and the business. With a background in finance, category and brand leadership, I combine analytical clarity with strategic focus. I enjoy bringing structure to complexity and turning direction into tangible progress, linking brand, portfolio and performance to real commercial impact. What energizes me most is building momentum: creating alignment across teams, sharpening choices and seeing ideas translate into measurable growth. I use data as a compass, while ensuring that decisions remain coherent, grounded and sustainable. I am at my best in environments where ambition and accountability go hand in hand and where commercial success is the outcome of thoughtful strategy, strong collaboration and genuine enthusiasm for the work we do.
