What I'm looking for

I seek senior digital leadership roles where I can drive web and e‑learning strategy, lead cross‑cultural teams, build scalable platforms, and mentor others within mission-driven educational or cultural organizations.

I am a multidisciplinary digital leader with over 15 years of experience delivering web, UX/UI, e‑learning and digital strategy for educational and cultural organizations across Europe and the U.S.

As Chief Digital Officer and program director, I have led digital transformations: designing and launching WordPress sites, e‑commerce and LMS platforms, configuring CRMs, directing UX/UI and managing large international programs for thousands of participants.

I combine technical skills (HTML, CSS, WordPress, CRM/LMS administration) with a creative eye for visuals and user‑centered content, mentoring teams and building scalable digital products that improve conversion, retention and educational outcomes.
