I am a senior digital innovation and strategy leader with extensive experience driving digital transformation, data analytics, and cross-functional project management across healthcare, medical devices, and consumer sectors. I have led PMO activities for digital products, built performance dashboards, and translated insights into strategic recommendations that informed top-management decisions.

My background spans consulting and corporate roles where I delivered market analysis, opportunity assessments, partnership sourcing, and e-commerce intelligence. I combine stakeholder management, strategic thinking, and hands-on execution to launch digital initiatives, optimize commercial performance, and identify new growth opportunities.
