about me

■ Over the past 25 years as a digital executive and interim manager, I've successfully navigated industries such as energy, telco, and media during times of substantial disruption, where digital transformation and innovation were crucial. My involvement in the start-up ecosystem has further diversified my experience. This has allowed me to lead product development in the e-commerce space, make early-stage investments, and mentor pre-seed/seed companies in incubator/accelerator programs.■ As a native French/English and fluent German speaker, I have now transitioned into the role of an independent growth advisor. I leverage my extensive cross-industry and cross-functional international experience to assess, design, and unlock the growth potential of my clients.
