What I'm looking for

I seek strategy roles where I can lead cross-functional initiatives, drive data-backed decisions, optimize operations, and deliver measurable revenue and efficiency gains in collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am a strategy-focused business specialist with experience across retail real estate, consumer brands, and consulting, delivering measurable results through market analysis and cross-functional collaboration.

At Prada I led negotiations with major landlords, produced competitive market analyses, and implemented SOPs that reduced project timelines and lowered costs; at Wild One I optimized pricing, built KPI tracking in Tableau, and improved team efficiency through new workflows.

Previously at L.E.K. Consulting I supported M&A due diligence, led customer and expert interviews, and enabled product launches that increased sales and market penetration. I bring strong analytical tools, stakeholder management, and a track record of driving revenue and operational improvements.
