About

As a seasoned business strategist and brand growth expert, I am actively exploring new opportunities that align with my passion for driving corporate/brands success. With nearly a decade of experience in the FMCG sector, notably with Procter & Gamble, I have honed my skills in spearheading brand visions, crafting robust strategies, and leading impactful advertising campaigns. My tenure has been marked by significant achievements, such as establishing Head & Shoulders as Italy's premier anti-dandruff shampoo and revitalizing home care brands across Europe. My expertise extends beyond traditional brand management to encompass cutting-edge market strategies and business development, evidenced by my success in creating a new business unit within just one year, spurring unprecedented growth. This blend of agility and innovation is a cornerstone of my approach, enabling me to deliver top-tier results consistently. Currently, as a freelance consultant, I leverage this wealth of experience to guide multinational corporations and promising startups in brand positioning, market strategy, and business growth. My consulting role keeps me at the forefront of market trends and business innovations, ensuring that I bring a fresh, informed perspective to any senior role. Moreover, I am deeply committed to mentoring emerging professionals, a testament to my belief in nurturing talent and fostering collective growth. This mentorship role reflects my holistic approach to business - one that values both organizational success and individual development. In seeking new corporate opportunities, I am eager to bring my extensive experience, strategic insight, and innovative thinking to a dynamic, forward-thinking team, driving substantial value and growth.
