Senior Director in Global Customer Success Thought Leadership
I work at the intersection of strategy, insight and decision-making.
Over the past 14+ years, I’ve partnered with leadership teams across FMCG, tech and durable goods to help them make better long-term choices — grounded in consumer behaviour, category dynamics and macroeconomic context.
My strength lies in structuring complex, often ambiguous questions, synthesising diverse data sources, and translating them into clear strategic direction that leaders can actually use. I’m equally comfortable working at the big-picture level and diving into the analytical detail needed to support robust decisions.
