About

I’m an experienced commercial and technical Project Manager and strategist with nearly 15 years delivering global and domestic programmes across FMCG and Healthcare, including ecommerce, D2C, web/app program management, localization and deployment, and complex operational change. I’ve worked in domestic and multi-market matrix organisations, bringing together stakeholders across functions to turn strategy into measurable outcomes.

Across my roles, I’ve led board-approved plans, built delivery frameworks and governance (RACI, reporting, RAID logs), and managed budgets and P&L-oriented initiatives—from fixing under-trade and launching scalable ecommerce operations, to delivering digital patient support programmes and retailer/category-led work. I enjoy shaping propositions, analysing complex data, and ensuring teams deliver practical, compliant solutions that drive profitable growth.
