Market- and business-focused analyst driving growth for startups and brands.
What I'm looking for
I am a business and market analyst with hands-on experience supporting startups and early-stage ventures in market research, product positioning, and go-to-market strategy.
I have analyzed competitors and consumer trends across Europe and North America, developed financial models and MVPs, and created content and visual guidelines to support brand and product launches.
I’ve supported founder-facing platforms by validating hypotheses through surveys and interviews, conducting benchmarking in DACH and UK markets, and executing targeted outreach to investors and partners.
I combine qualitative and quantitative research, community-building and digital marketing tests to iterate product-market fit and drive measurable growth.
