What I'm looking for

I seek roles in customer relations and administration management where I can use my problem solving skills coupled with my language abilities to help companies thrive.

I am a results-driven football operations and talent scouting professional with five years of international experience across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. I specialise in live and video scouting, player recruitment, market analysis and relationship management with clubs, academies and agents.

I have built and maintained structured scouting databases (over 100 players) and produced detailed written and video-supported scouting reports aligned with club identity, while negotiating contracts and coordinating logistics for newly signed players. My background includes leadership roles such as Head of Recruitment and Head of Football Operations, and I have facilitated high-volume meetings and partnership discussions between clubs across regions.

I bring an entrepreneurial spirit, strong analytical and interpersonal skills, fluency in English and French (Spanish and German at basic level), plus hospitality and customer-service experience that supports stakeholder engagement and external representation.
