What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles focusing on brand strategy and growth where I can lead integrated digital campaigns, mentor creative teams, and build revenue-driving brand experiences.

I am an experienced marketing professional with 7+ years crafting brand stories, building audiences from zero, and scaling engagement across digital platforms. I blend strategy with hands-on execution to deliver measurable results under tight timelines.

As Founder & CEO, I incubated and scaled multiple ventures, leading brand development, visual identity, packaging, and campaign execution. I have launched heritage and Gen Z-focused brands using narrative-led content and platform-specific strategies.

In leadership roles I have driven positioning audits, influencer collaborations, performance ad strategies, and operations across creative and logistics functions. I have repeatedly demonstrated the ability to convert creative vision into revenue-focused funnels and on-ground activation.

I prioritize clear storytelling, data-informed optimization, and team-led creative execution. I seek roles where I can lead brand strategy, mentor creative teams, and scale products through integrated digital campaigns.
