What I'm looking for

I seek roles driving product and material innovation in FMCG, blending formulation leadership, eco-design, and digital R&D to deliver consumer-preferred, cost-efficient, scalable solutions.

I am a product innovation lead with 3.5+ years' experience in FMCG Homecare innovation, specializing in product formulation, material science, strategic sourcing, and digital transformation. I have delivered multimillion-euro savings and led global technology commercialization across complex, cross-functional environments.

At Unilever Global Homecare I drove formulation design and material strategy that produced measurable business impact — including €1.5M+ savings for Surf Brazil, a 40% gross-margin improvement for Breeze Philippines, and €1M+ savings for Sunlight South Africa — while ensuring consumer-preferred performance and regulatory readiness.

I also built digital and capability solutions: I led development of a global digital R&D supplier-approval tool, served as an SAP PLM superuser, founded a Global Ingredient Specialists Forum training 200+ professionals, and managed a technology pipeline that delivered €24M in savings through eco-design and commercialization.
