I am an entrepreneur and communications expert with 15+ years of experience in digital marketing, brand communication and media production. I have built and led teams of 5–20 people, developed go-to-market strategies for SaaS, e-commerce and fintech, and steered cross-media campaigns with six-figure reach. My approach blends strategic thinking with hands-on execution, and I’ve driven AI-enabled automation and agent-based workflows to optimize marketing and sales processes. I thrive in agile environments and enjoy turning complex challenges into clear, actionable plans. Looking ahead, I’m excited about AI-driven marketing, Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) and transforming traditional communications through intelligent systems. I’m open to meaningful conversations with partners and teams who value practical innovation, measurable outcomes, and collaboration across borders and disciplines.
