About Jerome
Marketing & Communication Leader with an entrepreneurial DNA.
I have built and scaled multiple premium brands primarily through digital acquisition, content creation, brand storytelling, partnerships and influence, across luxury, hospitality and consumer goods.
My core strength lies in creating visibility, desire and growth: from SEO and paid acquisition to PR, social media, events, influencer marketing and high-impact brand partnerships. While I have led companies end-to-end, marketing has always been the engine behind performance, scale and brand equity.
I view marketing as a strategic creation tool serving the business: a driver of revenue, lead generation and retention, and a core pillar in a digital world dominated by communication, shaping brand image and clarity of message, while also aligning and federating all stakeholders around a shared vision.
