Over the past 20 years, I have had the opportunity to define and contribute to the marketing strategy of companies from diversified verticals: the technology sector, consumer electronics, luxury goods & services, financial services and software editing.
I have built my experience with innovative digital marketing agencies and large advertisers, where I was responsible for $10M-20M marketing budgets.
I have a strong track record working on large-scale expansion programs for US, French and British companies, and leading multicultural teams.
