Executive Summary
“With over 14 years of experience in the creative industry, I am passionate about creating and building brands that resonate with audiences and deliver results. I have led and collaborated with teams on both sides (in-house and agency) to produce innovative products in ad tech, AI, machine learning, data collection, and develop engaging campaigns and collateral around them.
