More

With a strong focus on international expansion and greenfield development, I’ve supported innovative start-ups, scale-ups, and SMEs in building their footprint from the ground up. My strength lies in bridging strategic vision with practical execution—turning ideas into results that matter. I bring deep experience in navigating dynamic, cross-functional environments, particularly where long-term partnerships, compliance, and stakeholder alignment are critical. Whether launching new initiatives or strengthening existing operations, I work best as part of a high-performing team—bringing energy, clarity, and a hands-on mindset. What drives me is the opportunity to shape and scale businesses in ways that create lasting value—for the organization, the team, and the markets we serve.
