What is your current career stage and what can help you unlock your next level?
After 18 years immersed in the world of brand development and marketing within the fashion, lifestyle, and consumer tech arenas, I embarked on a new chapter by founding my consultancy late last year. This venture has been incredibly rewarding, centered around building strong client connections and strategically diversifying my sectoral reach. My vision is to continue this exciting journey of growth, collaborating on stimulating projects with a diverse portfolio of clients, from global giants to nimble startups.
Why would you want to join 1833/١٨٣٣?
My decision to seek membership in 1833 stems from a profound realization since transitioning to independent consulting. While I cherish the autonomy, I've keenly felt the absence of stimulating, spontaneous conversations with like-minded individuals. In my 18 years within the corporate sphere, I was constantly immersed in collaborative environments – surrounded by teams, stakeholders, and agency partners. I deeply valued and now miss the intellectual sparring, the challenging perspectives, and the insightful exchanges that naturally arose around work, life, art, and the myriad topics that enrich our understanding of the world. I believe 1833 offers the vibrant intellectual community I'm seeking to fill this gap.
What are your creative interests? How do you spend your free time?
My background has always been intertwined with the creative world, and this naturally spills over into my personal life. I find immense inspiration in the tangible beauty of art exhibitions and the stories held within museum walls. Travel is another significant passion, offering a rich tapestry of new cultures to explore – particularly through their captivating food, art, music, and fashion. To keep grounded and energized, I enjoy the mindful movement of yoga and reformer pilates, as well as the invigorating challenge of padel and the beauty of hiking. Above all, I cherish the moments of genuine connection and the opportunity to engage with people in a truly meaningful way.
