What I'm looking for

I'm looking to drive product innovation, digital transformation, global trade, and growth through large-scale launches, connected products, and high-performing teams.

At Nomad Spirits Company, I lead go-to-market strategy for an IoT-based luxury CPG product enhanced with NFC technology, supporting a team of more than 130 people across product, manufacturing, compliance, logistics, sales, and distribution.

I built the roadmap for smart packaging, digital transformation, AR/VR, and digital asset issuance, including Web3 infrastructure using Bitcoin and the Liquid sidechain. I also developed AI-driven market research that increased brand sales 9.5x through strategic B2B channels and expanded distribution by more than 300%.

Previously at RealFoundations and Capgemini, I led investment-management data conversions, ERP implementations, process redesign, training, SAP upgrades, and client-facing project delivery for large institutional portfolios and energy companies.

I bring an International Business and Finance background and a practical interest in global trade, product innovation, supply chains, and building teams that deliver measurable growth.
