Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

With 11 years of experience as a sales representative and then as a founder and CEO in custom packaging, I combine strategic, marketing, and product vision with a results-driven culture.

10 years in a luxury packaging company: first in marketing/communication (positioning, lead generation, product storytelling), then in business development (prospecting, negotiation, customer loyalty).

Founder of a custom packaging company: complete front and back office management - from client brief to after-sales service - including costing, supplier sourcing, production management, quality control, logistics, and invoicing.

What I deliver

Clear, quantified, and actionable recommendations (costs, deadlines, risks).

Frictionless prototypes and launches: scoping, milestones, artwork approval, quality monitoring.

Measurable results: conversions, customer satisfaction, smooth restocking.

Expertise

Premium and personalized packaging (paper/cardboard, rigid boxes, bags, gift boxes, finishes).

Go-to-market strategy, offers and arguments, portfolio development.

Supplier coordination Europe/Asia, purchasing, cost/time optimization.

Looking for an operational partner who speaks as much "client" as "supplier" and secures your projects from A to Z? I will take charge of your file and deliver impeccable packaging at the right price and on time.
