What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth in a dynamic environment, ideally within a company that values innovation and strategic thinking.

I am a strategy and growth generalist with over 7 years of experience in the founder's office, consulting, and program management roles. My expertise lies in identifying opportunities and building scalable solutions from the ground up. I have a proven track record of driving execution across go-to-market strategies, operations, and product-led initiatives, particularly in the SaaS and e-commerce sectors.

At Sentiss Pharma, I led a team in managing planning and operations across six countries, achieving significant improvements in forecasting accuracy and cost savings. My work involved creating scalable demand planning workflows and enhancing customer satisfaction metrics. I have also supported C-level executives in developing growth roadmaps and executing high-impact operational strategies, which have resulted in substantial revenue growth and operational efficiencies.

My experience at Actuate Business Consulting further honed my skills in business transformation and efficiency projects across various industries. I am deeply interested in emerging technologies and the startup ecosystem, and I continuously seek opportunities to leverage my skills in dynamic environments that foster innovation and growth.
