Hello

I am a seasoned freelance communications & strategy consultant passionate about helping companies focused on bringing more purpose to the way we plan and live our lives.

I took the leap three years ago and became my own boss, after a decade of international career in consumer and business marketing & communications. A rich experience which brought me to develop the narratives for some of the world's top technology brands, managing many marketing initiatives from inception to finish — some earning international recognition from industry awards.

My last corporate position was as a Brand Marketing Manager at Facebook, focusing on technology & innovation. Before that I worked at Google for 6 years, most recently as a Marketing Manager within the Brand Studio, Google’s internal agency, and held positions as Associate Creative Director in an ad agency, and PR & Communications lead in the cultural and media sector.

I hold an MBA from the Sorbonne University, a certificate from Wharton’s Executive MBA Marketing program, a Masters in Communications and a BA in Political Sciences from Sciences Po Paris.

In my free time I enjoy traveling the world, often behind the wheel of my old VW bus, snapping pics along the way and writing travel stories. I also like building stuff, especially tiny interiors: I’ve recently restored a tiny house and rebuilt a vintage van, and I’m currently working on a new one. I’ve lived in 6 countries and visited over 60. I play the violin, dive and have gotten into endurance races, running a few marathons and finishing a triathlon.
