概要

Leading Brand & marcoms Executive Director, championing business development with transformational creative ideas.

As an Agency Executive, a Client Leader and Start-up Entrepreneur, I've had a personal hand in rebranding and repositioning several global brands in their marketplace.
I believe technology, innovation & an acute observation of people’s sweet spots, can leverage the power of creativity to create meaningful relationships in between customers and brands.

My track record of success is directly related to my ability to analyse consumer's insights, develop innovative marketing communication strategies, embrace technology and execute efficient change management programs to leverage business and revenue growth.

Companies and brands I've made a positive impact on include Lego, Ubisoft, P&G Gilette, Lacoste, Escada, Rochas, D&G, GSK, HSBC, Pfizer, Volvo, Teisseire, McCormick, Seat, Nissan Europe, Toyota Europe, Peugeot Global, Renault Europe, Mitsubishi Europe, Kawasaki, Weight Watchers, DB Apparel, Harlequin, Best Western, and several others.
