What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a consumer insights role where I can lead cross-functional projects, turn complex research into sharp, actionable recommendations, and partner with marketing and brands to improve innovation, brand health, and campaign outcomes.

I’m a Consumer Insights Project Lead with 5+ years partnering with FMCG and consumer brands to shape innovation, communication, and portfolio decisions. I translate both quantitative and qualitative consumer data into clear, decision-focused recommendations across concept testing, brand health tracking, and campaign evaluation.

In my current role at ESCALENT (GRAIL INSIGHTS), I lead project delivery and partner with brand and marketing teams to optimize targeting by identifying high-impact drivers of consideration and relevance across consumer cohorts. Previously, as a Research Manager at Kantar/NielsenIQ, I guided new product development and renovation choices, strengthened brand equity narratives, and earned recognition for clarity and storytelling that strengthens trust in insight-led decision making.
