## About

```text
I’m a Consumer Insights, Market Research and Project Management professional with 18+ years of experience across research agencies and in-house consumer insights roles.

I have led end-to-end quantitative and qualitative research programmes, from defining business questions and research objectives to research design, supplier coordination, fieldwork, analysis, reporting and translating findings into actionable recommendations.

As Consumer Insights Manager at Belcorp, I led strategic consumer research and worked with cross-functional teams to support product innovation and business decision-making. At Ipsos and Racamandaka, I managed research programmes and client relationships across healthcare, consumer goods, beauty and other sectors, working with multinational organisations including MSD, Pfizer, Janssen, GSK, L’Oréal and Abbott.

I also bring strong project and stakeholder management experience, coordinating external suppliers, managing multiple workstreams and presenting insights to senior stakeholders. In addition, I teach and consult in marketing, market research, customer experience and digital marketing, and provide professional career coaching through TúSumas.

I’m particularly interested in international remote opportunities where I can combine consumer understanding, research, strategic thinking and project leadership to help organisations make better business decisions.
