What I'm looking for

I'm open to international travel as required for global workplace project delivery, and I'm experienced working in virtual project environments across international locations and time zones.

At NIQ, I own end-to-end delivery of 25+ concurrent programmes, from kick-off through financial closure. I manage scope, timelines, budgets, risks, and dependencies while coordinating internal teams and third-party suppliers.

I drive PMO and process improvements, including AI-enabled tools for projects such as Topaz, Toyota, and IKEA. These improvements reduced manual processing time by 30% and improved project delivery efficiency.

At GFK, I led multi-country research programmes for global accounts and delivered 60+ multilingual studies across 30 countries. Earlier, I worked in data operations at GFK and finance and accounts at IBM, supporting reporting, quality assurance, and workflow automation.
