Iโ€™m a well-rounded, highly experienced marketer specializing in digital and performance marketing, creative impact testing, and data-driven growth. My work sits at the intersection of strategy, execution, and measurement. Iโ€™ve built attribution models, performance frameworks, and full-funnel systems that connect marketing activity directly to business outcomes. I donโ€™t work for brands, I work with them, fully immersed, treating each business as if it were my own. I've personally worked at global and regional brands including Bloomingdaleโ€™s, GAP, The Giving Movement, Harvey Nichols, and many other premium and luxury businesses operating in high-ticket, high-expectation environments. Luxury and performance at scale is not a niche for me, itโ€™s where Iโ€™m most effective. After a decade of experience, Iโ€™ve built a trusted global network across industries that allows me to deliver at a very high standard. I am not a random freelancer, and I am not someone outsourcing your work to anonymous juniors. I am hands-on, accountable, and deeply involved. You get me, end to end. Where needed, I tap into a carefully built network of senior specialists, each best-in-class in their field, people Iโ€™ve worked with and trust. If youโ€™re looking for someone who will challenge assumptions, protect your brand, and hold the work to a near-perfection standard before it ever reaches you, Iโ€™m the right partner. Tell me about your business, and Iโ€™ll show you what we can build together. Services include but not limited to the following: Marketing Strategy & Execution Full-funnel digital, performance, creative, and brand strategy built around real business goals. Website & App Design UX-led, conversion-focused design for premium brands and performance businesses. Digital Analytics & Attribution Analytics setup, attribution models, dashboards, and performance tracking across platforms. Website & App Development & Management Ongoing development, optimisation, and operational oversight. eCommerce Strategy & Growth Consulting Platform strategy, conversion optimisation, merchandising, and performance scaling. Business & Growth Consulting Commercial thinking applied to marketing, operations, and decision-making. Executive & Investor Presentations High-impact pitch decks, strategy decks, and board-level presentations. Media & Performance Consulting Paid media strategy, planning, optimisation, and platform advisory. End-to-End Project Leadership From idea to delivery, managing teams, timelines, and outcomes.

I help startups, entrepreneurs, and growing businesses streamline operations, launch products, and scale efficiently. With 10+ years of international experience across Dubai, Europe, China, the US, and LATAM, I specialize in aligning strategy with execution โ€” transforming fragmented workflows into structured, scalable systems. My background spans e-commerce, travel tech, app development, and digital platforms, working closely with founders and C-level teams in fast-paced startup environments. Over the past 5+ years as a freelancer, Iโ€™ve led complex, cross-functional projects including global operations transitions (such as relocating headquarters from Asia to LATAM during high-growth e-commerce cycles), international product sourcing optimization (shifting supply chains from China to Vietnam for cost efficiency), and multiple Web2/Web3 app and product launches. I bring experience in: โ€ข Business operations & workflow optimization โ€ข End-to-end app and product launches โ€ข E-commerce & Amazon operations โ€ข Global product sourcing & supply chain coordination โ€ข Cross-functional project management (marketing, design, product, merchandising) โ€ข Automation & systems implementation (5+ years ClickUp, Trello, Shopify, GetAccept, Google Workspace) โ€ข Digital marketing performance and Advertising Meta & TikTok โ€ข Stakeholder coordination across distributed global teams My added value is combining operational leadership with digital execution โ€” connecting physical products, tech platforms, and marketing workflows into one delivery system.
