About

A motivated, problem-solving, who places emphasis on quality and communication. Knowledge of luxury brand building, curiosity for disruptive experiences and an eye for excellence in execution. I spent 5 years studying International Business at Kedge Business School (Luxury Experience & Brand Management), where I embarked on a year abroad of internships to Milan and Palermo, as Brand Management and Events Inventive Business Marketing Assistant. This year proved to be invaluable in terms of independence, and determination, as well as heightening my language skills to a fluent level (Italian). I have completed my end-of-studies internship at Shiseido as Product Manager and Operational Marketing Assistant EMEA, for the most ultra-premium franchises of the brand (Bio-Performance and Future Solution LX). It gave me an outstanding ability to manage multiple Marketing projects and adapt to new challenges daily, through cross-functional teamwork. I am working in wine and spirits industry, my first contract being at Rémy Cointreau for the BeLux market, with exceptional brands. Now working as Brand Manager William Grant & Sons for Italian market.
