About

I work at the intersection of business growth, client leadership and strategy — helping organizations turn complexity into clear decisions and commercial results.

My career has developed primarily within Interbrand, growing from project management into a Director-level role leading complex, high-profile engagements for some of the world's most iconic brands. Along the way I've built an instinct for reading contexts, aligning senior stakeholders, and connecting brand initiatives to measurable business outcomes.

I value listening as much as leading, stay calm in high-stakes rooms, and I'm increasingly focused on how AI reshapes the way strategy and business get done.
