About

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in French Studies with Business from the University of London Institute in Paris, in partnership with Queen Mary University of London (Russell Group), and specialise in leading global brand and lifecycle marketing initiatives. My experience spans international markets across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas, with a focus on brand marketing, customer acquisition, lifecycle strategy, CRM, and data-informed decision-making. I have led multi-channel campaigns, managed complex budgets, and worked cross-functionally with product, creative, and leadership teams to deliver sustainable and measurable brand growth. I am particularly passionate about designing customer journeys that balance clarity, consistency, and long-term customer value. I also value building collaborative environments where structured thinking and strategic vision support meaningful business outcomes.
