What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a passionate marketing and operations manager with over 6 years of experience in the yachting industry, adept at managing complex repair and refit projects. My role at Custom Yacht Coating and Yacht Coating Management involved overseeing contracts with super yacht owners, ensuring customer satisfaction, and managing personnel effectively. I have a strong background in preparing quotations, invoices, and monitoring day-to-day accounting tasks, which has honed my financial management skills.

Prior to my current role, I served as a social media manager at Cosmospace, where I managed a substantial budget for social ads and developed strategies for lead generation and ROI optimization. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to co-found Yettic SAS, a web platform designed to assist local businesses in launching live digital marketing campaigns. My diverse experience across various industries, including fashion and hospitality, has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of marketing dynamics and consumer behavior.
