I'm a Harvard-certified neuroscience-informed marketer and Edinburgh-trained digital strategist who operates at the intersection of marketing, cybersecurity, blockchain, and AI automation.

Please note that I do not accept projects with AI in the title, as I am not capable of discerning who is legit and who isn't. I appreciate your understanding! I have been a growth hacker and a marketing specialist for over nine years now. I currently live in Bucharest, Romania. In 2017, I opened my firm, as a way for me to operate as a freelancer, and since then, I've been working remotely. My workplace history thus far, both in-house and as a contractor, is the following: software house, design, and development agency, several startups. Throughout my career, I have worked with products in different moments of their life cycles, from launching to sunsetting. I can develop and execute successful marketing strategies that generate customer engagement and revenue. I believe testing is necessary to establish what works and what doesn't. Even if channels and tactics have specific metrics and KPIs, everything we do has to serve a particular purpose. I structure everything as a process where each step can be monitored and adjusted. Sometimes, an idea can be excellent, but executing it might divert too many resources from another purpose. Prioritizing is essential, regardless of the budget and timeline. Because I've worked in startups and a design and development agency, I am familiar with designing and developing a project/business, and perhaps even more with creating MVPs. I dipped my toes into almost everything: ideation, wireframing, copywriting, process building for the team, and KPI development. Such is the nature of the growing businesses; everyone pitches in, in almost everything :). I am highly motivated, creative, and a problem-solver, always looking for new and innovative ways to drive growth and increase brand awareness.
