With practical skills in digital marketing and data analytics, I excel at identifying and meeting customer expectations, increasing revenues, and generating significant revenue through the design and management of digital products.

I have a proven track record in project management, supervising and co-supervising e-banking projects from initiation to conclusion and go-to-market execution.
