I have managed 6-figure monthly budgets across Meta, SEM, Google (Shopping, PMax), Google UAC, Apple Search Ads, TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube to maximize ROAS and profitability. I excel at optimizing conversion funnels, landing pages, and creative testing across FMCG, fashion, skincare, and consumer goods, and I have a proven track record of delivering sustained revenue growth and efficient CAC across diverse verticals.
I enjoy building data-driven acquisition strategies, leading cross-functional teams, and shaping ROI-focused media plans for retail, telecom, fintech, and consumer brands.
