Description

I help premium consumer and lifestyle brands get their positioning sharp, their launches right, and their retail presence working harder.

With 10+ years leading brand and go-to-market strategy across EMEA, I work at the intersection of brand thinking and commercial performance, translating strategic direction into market execution that delivers measurable results.

Projects I typically work on:

brand positioning and messaging strategy
go-to-market planning and product launches
retail marketing strategy and in-store experience
EMEA market activation and campaign planning

Selected results:

+167% first-week sales uplift on launch
+86% retail sales uplift
+53% category volume growth
+500% media coverage on brand repositioning

I work remotely on a project or short retainer basis, and take on a small number of engagements at a time.
