About

With 7 years of experience in R&D and sustainability, I bring together innovation and strategic thinking with a strong track record in program delivery and execution. Early roles at Danone and Henkel provided me hands‑on experience in packaging design, development, and implementation. At Coca‑Cola, I built on this foundation through global projects and cross‑functional collaborations, expanding my expertise into sustainability, productivity, supply chain, and digital platforms. Over the years, I’ve cultivated a strong network across a wide range of suppliers, technology partners, and industry organizations — enabling me to drive both innovation and sustainable growth.
