Born and raised in Paris. Graduated from ESDI Créapole, I started my career in advertising agencies in Paris (Publicis, Young&Rubicam, Leo Burnett, La Chose).

I then co-founded the agency Bold & Beyond (Paris & Los Angeles) before joining CBA as Managing Director of the newly created Russian office.

With over 15 years of international experience in advertising, corporate & consumer branding, I manage large-scale design projects. Brand Design, Brand/consumer experience, design thinking and innovation for product, packaging, digital, in-store.

By combining the power of creative and strategic thinking in brand building solutions, I connect business objectives with tangible and relevant creative solutions across all brand touchpoints.
