About

With over 15 years of experience helping businesses grow and innovate, I’ve developed a strong understanding of product, marketing, and go-to-market strategies. Right now, I’m the Director of Marketing and Communications at AI71, where I’m leading our efforts to drive growth. Over the years, I’ve worked with some amazing organizations, focusing on technology transformation. My background in engineering helps me connect the dots between technical challenges and business goals. Multilingual and globally minded, I’ve had the chance to work across diverse regions —from Europe to the US, and Africa to Asia Pacific. People-centric by nature, I’m passionate about empowering teams and fostering collaboration to achieve success in an ever-evolving landscape.
