I turn global research evidence into decision-ready strategy, narratives, and growth opportunities.
What I'm looking for
At FlavorWiki, a GPI Company, I turn complex, multi-source research into decision-ready narratives for clients while building the operational and AI infrastructure that helps research quality scale.
Previously at GetWhy and UserTribe, I led quantitative and qualitative research across global markets, completed 50+ projects, and conducted 900+ stakeholder interviews for brands including Maersk, Barclays, Visa, Ikea, and O2. I use consumer, market, competitive, and behavioral insights to strengthen product-market fit, go-to-market strategy, and high-stakes decisions.
My PhD in Geography informs a rigorous, culturally aware approach to research, from environmental planning and public policy to healthcare, logistics, and consumer behavior. I focus on explaining why findings matter and what organizations should do next.
