What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to drive innovation and lead impactful projects in a collaborative environment.

I am a dynamic professional with a strong background in expansion and design, currently serving as the Expansion & Design Lead at ReVora in Germany. My role involves developing and executing go-to-market strategies, building scaling roadmaps, and providing consultation to clients on achieving their ESG goals. My experience in this position has honed my ability to navigate complex market landscapes and drive successful outcomes.

As the founder of Chanika Crafts, I have successfully scaled a handcrafted goods brand, overseeing product design and brand positioning while optimizing e-commerce strategies. My previous roles as a Venture Architect and Head of Venture Building have equipped me with the skills to lead corporate venture building initiatives, guiding startups from ideation to MVP development. I thrive in environments that foster innovation and collaboration, and I am passionate about creating impactful solutions that resonate with consumers.
