And food, History, and boxing too 🤓

My core competencies are data-driven growth marketing, content marketing, messaging and positioning, and strategic thinking. I have a proven track record of delivering results and exceeding goals across various channels and markets, as well as managing high-performing teams from corporates to startups.
Good at thinking outside the box and seeing the bigger picture
Enjoy discussions and exploring multiple angles of an idea
Anti-perfectionist: would rather develop an MVP, test, and iterate fast
Will get bored with routine and strict hierarchy
