What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead client engagement, brand strategy, business development, or high-touch event experiences for a luxury, fashion, or hospitality brand where I can build trusted relationships and translate brand values into memorable moments.

I've led luxury events, client engagement, and brand growth across Milan and Paris for SantAmbroeus Hospitality Group, Paris Society, Officine Universelle Buly, and Rowen Rose.

At SantAmbroeus, I managed the full lifecycle of private and corporate events for 10 to 300+ guests, from client acquisition and budgeting through vendor coordination and on-site delivery. I work closely with operations and kitchen teams to make every guest touchpoint feel seamless and aligned with luxury hospitality standards.

I've also driven distribution, retail partnerships, PR, social media, wholesale, and B2B special projects. At Officine Universelle Buly, I supported the Selfridges boutique opening and launched Briard, managing its production, communication, and sales.

Fluent in French, English, and Italian, I bring a creative eye and rigorous execution to high-value client relationships, brand storytelling, and memorable experiences.
