About

Hi there! I’m Nadine, a cross‑functional strategist and founder with a passion for turning data into growth opportunities. I am currently pursuing an MSc in International Management at Nova SBE in Carcavelos, Portugal, where I’m deepening my skills in strategy frameworks like VRIO, Porter’s Five Forces, Blue Ocean, and Network Effects to guide scalable growth options. My training combines rigorous quantitative analysis with hands‑on project execution, and I love translating insights into actionable roadmaps for real-world impact.

My background spans management consulting (McKinsey FMCG focus), brand and product development with multinational employers (Unilever, Nestlé), and entrepreneurship (Mind League founder). I’ve led cross‑functional teams, built investor and executive decks, and launched pilots that improved revenue, cost efficiency, and local employment. I’m excited to continue bridging strategy and impact, helping organizations grow responsibly and creatively.
