What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a consulting role where I can combine financial modelling, market analysis, and ESG strategy to drive investment and growth decisions—turning complex data into clear recommendations for global stakeholders.

I’m a strategy professional with 4+ years of experience across startups and global organizations, delivering financial modelling, market analysis, and competitive benchmarking across international markets. I translate complex data into clear, actionable business recommendations for senior decision-makers.

As an Associate Consultant at JESA Advisory, I’ve optimized financing strategy for large-scale CAPEX plans, led financial evaluation of major projects, and built EBITDA growth plans across multiple product lines. I also developed regional go-to-market and product positioning strategies, and built investment-ready RFPs and proposals involving major institutions.

I complement strategy with strong data execution: I’ve built dashboards and subscription pricing models, screened sustainability labels to shape adoption roadmaps aligned with 5-year ESG strategy, and improved market intelligence reporting through better data quality and cross-functional alignment. I’m energized by work that combines rigorous analysis, stakeholder engagement, and tangible growth outcomes.
