Summary

With my international experience as a global press officer, and in developing and rolling out integrated marketing and communication strategies, I know how to build brands and successfully position companies, products and services both internally and externally. Working for international clients in very different industries has taught me how to adapt best practices creatively and successfully to other sectors.

One of my key strengths is thinking from the clients' perspective, spotting relevant topics and using agenda-setting and storytelling to share them so that perception by the key audiences, the quality and quantity of media coverage, as well as staff motivation and their contribution to company success, all improve significantly.
