After completing a Bachelor’s and Master’s in Law, I started my career in M&A Consulting at PwC, where I built a strong foundation in strategic thinking, problem-solving, and helping clients achieve their goals. Since then, my career has taken me from deals into technology and now cybersecurity — safe to say, I’ve explored a few different worlds along the way. At LinkedIn, I gained experience across both Sales and Strategy & Operations, further strengthening my passion for driving growth through structure, planning, and cross-functional collaboration. Today, I’m part of Sales Operations at Zscaler, a cloud security leader helping organizations securely connect users, applications, and data in a digital-first world. In my role, I support the Northern European sales teams through smarter planning, better processes, and operational excellence that helps teams perform at their best. Across every step of my career, I’ve been guided by the same core values: strategic problem-solving, enabling teams and organizations to do their best work, and building strong relationships along the way.
