Marketing & Sports Manager | Campaign building, Contract Negotiation, Athlete Management

Top Management

My journey began early, landing on the cover of a skateboarding magazine at age 9 and competing as an amateur surfer throughout my youth. Immersed in the lifestyle and culture of these sports, I had the privilege of collaborating with renowned brands in the street and surfwear segment. And that was my foray into the Marketing & Sales field, where I truly found my calling.

My passion lies in understanding and optimizing every stage of the customer journey and their touchpoints. This is my arena to create and deliver outstanding performance, leveraging valued omni-channel experiences. The results I achieve stem from hard work, dedication, resilience, and an insatiable eagerness to continuously learn and accomplish goals. This drive has led to recognition and awards while working with the world's leading companies in the industry.

As a millennial, I have an intrinsic understanding of the essence and consumer behavior of my generation. Coupled with in-depth studies, I have a clear understanding on the direction and trends of Generation Z, our next wave of consumers. My natural and spontaneous communication style allows me to engage with diverse audiences effortlessly. I am often recognized as a leader and ambassador, naturally embodying a guidance role. With my experience and motivation, I excel at building compelling stories, inspiring colleagues, forging strategic partnerships, and creating winning strategies that effectively reach massive audiences.
