About

Most brands have a strategy. Few have a story people actually care about; I fix that. I work with in-house marketing teams, CMOs, and founders to turn positioning into campaigns that drive revenue and get remembered; across markets, not just in one. At Rimowa; one of LVMH's fastest-growing maisons with revenue approaching $800M; I converted clients into high-value product lines by translating the brand's functional luxury story into real buying decisions. At L'Oréal Benelux, I worked on Maybelline launch campaigns that ranked among the most successful beauty rollouts in the region. My edge is rare: I studied and worked across South Africa, Mexico, Indonesia, the Netherlands, and Europe's luxury retail market. Five languages, an International Business degree, and a Master's in Sustainable Business Transition. I don't just understand different markets; I know how to build a campaign brief that actually lands in them. I work best with brands that need their strategy to travel — across cultures, channels, and customer mindsets. If that's you, let's talk.
