About Maroesjka

As a results-oriented and data-driven Marketing Director (NIMA-C), I bring over 15 years of experience in achieving commercial growth within the B2B2C market. My strength lies in translating complex market and customer insights into winning value propositions, clear marketing strategies, and tightly executed cross-media campaigns that directly contribute to the business. Within international matrix organizations, I am known as the strategic partner for executives and senior management. I use 'tough but true' data-driven insights as the conscience of the organization to gain commitment and implement operational improvements. Whether it's building a marketing department from scratch, managing complex compliance transitions (IPM legislation), or introducing international 'best practices' – I focus not only on the 'what' but specifically on the 'how' to achieve acceleration.
