Description

My strength lies in leading projects, optimizing existing structures, systems, and/or inter-team communication, to drive the bottom line. With my curious nature and sales experience, I always ensure rapid results. I am used to work with multi-disciplined teams on various levels. My background in sales and strong operational skills have equipped me to engage effectively with high-level stakeholders. As a General Manager, I led a team with diverse disciplines for a period of 5 years, totaling 20 FTE. The skills I acquired during this time have been applicable to every assignment, from data analysis to business strategy and more. I am always in pursuit of a win-win-win scenario—benefiting the client, the company, and the team.

Having thrived as an independent entrepreneur, I am now seeking to channel my expertise as an interim/freelance professional, once again. While I have cherished the relationships with my clients and the autonomy of independent work, I find myself yearning to be part of a collaborative team, working collectively towards ambitious goals. My passion for empowering others and driving operational efficiency remains unwavering, and I am excited to bring my strategic insights and leadership expertise to new challenges and endeavors.
