About Viktoria

With over 15 years of experience in FMCG (Retail & D2C), I combine in-depth expertise in Category Management and Market Research with strategic thinking.

Most recently, at Oatly, I led Business Insights & Category Management for DACH & Poland, providing the entire team with analyses on brand development and potential, developing category strategies, and translating complex data into concrete growth impulses.

My background ranges from data-based consulting for global brands like Mars and Nestlé to building and scaling D2C beauty brands and innovation pipelines in dynamic startup environments.

What sets me apart: I don't just analyze data, I connect it. I bring together retail, consumer, brand, and trend insights (e.g., from Nielsen, GfK, YouGov) into clear, actionable strategies.

I manage projects end-to-end: from research and strategy to compelling selling stories.

I work reliably, structured, and quickly, with analytical depth and strategic clarity.
