About

I am a modern executive and sustainability expert with extensive experience across multiple industries — Fashion, Industrial, and FMCG — having held various senior leadership roles in both B2B and B2C environments, and consistently delivering strong business results. I have worked as a Consultant and Senior Executive, in both permanent and interim positions, including roles as Managing Director, COO, CSO, and Board Director. International and versatile, I have worked with global companies and brands of different sizes, travelled extensively for business and leisure, and gained a deep understanding of diverse cultures. I am also a team builder, proud to see that many successful managers in leading global companies today were once members of my teams at different stages of their professional journeys.
