EXPERIENCE

I am a marketing & business development professional. Throughout my career I have been working in multinational companies across different regions, having learned how to make brands grow internationally while being considerate of local cultural nuances.

Though I studied business management and enjoy data-driven strategic ways of working I am heavily interested in creative/artsy/visual projects - constantly striving for idealising and implementing out-of-the box (and cute looking) solutions.

I am a proud nerd - currently working at Meta as a Creative Strategist in NYC, supporting companies in achieving their goals while using the best creative solutions available to their strategies.
