What I'm looking for

I seek a role that values cultural diversity and offers opportunities for growth in international markets.

With over 15 years of experience in International Relations, Diplomacy, and Luxury, I have had the privilege of collaborating with iconic brands such as Christian Dior and Valentino. My journey has equipped me with a deep understanding of global markets, particularly in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, as well as expertise in engaging with high-profile clients from diverse backgrounds.

As a translator for esteemed International Organizations like the FAO, I have honed my communication skills, enabling me to navigate complex global contexts effectively. My dedication to excellence is reflected in my achievements, including being recognized as the best salesperson in the world at Valentino in 2001. I thrive in environments that challenge my problem-solving abilities and allow me to foster long-term client relationships.
