My Story

I help businesses break through growth barriers

With 20+ years’ executive experience at brands like Procter & Gamble, Wella, and KIKO Milano, I’ve led multiple business turnarounds — from revitalising mature brands to scaling fast-growing challengers.

My mission: to help ambitious leaders unlock profitable growth through brand strategy, marketing, and execution that works in the real world.

KIKO Milano

At KIKO Milano, I helped steer the company from a challenging financial position to becoming the 3rd fastest-growing beauty brand globally in 2022.

Procter & Gamble

At Procter & Gamble, I’ve reignited underperforming brands, faced aggressive growth targets, shifting markets, and teams that needed to move fast without losing focus.

SMEs, scale-ups

Today, I bring that same strategic clarity and execution focus to SMEs, scale-ups, and ambitious brands — without the overhead of a full-time hire.
