What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and the chance to lead impactful projects.

I am a multilingual Project Manager with over three years of experience in the luxury yacht industry, specializing in managing full-cycle projects from contract signing to post-delivery support. My proven track record includes delivering yachts with zero client remarks and successfully handling multiple projects simultaneously without compromising quality. I pride myself on my strong ownership and outcome-driven focus, which allows me to maintain calm efficiency under pressure.

Throughout my career, I have developed exceptional skills in client communication, cross-functional team coordination, and contractual negotiations. At Next Yacht Group, I managed yacht delivery projects, achieving perfect delivery for high-profile clients and reducing complex worklists significantly. My ability to coordinate teams across various functions, monitor budgets, and drive issue resolution has been key to my success in ensuring client satisfaction and project completion.

With a strong educational background in economics and project management, I am culturally agile and adaptable, thriving in dynamic environments. I am passionate about fostering long-term client relationships and delivering exceptional results in every project I undertake.
