About

Who I am: A transformational leader. A talent catalyst. A brand builder. I am a global marketing and P&L leader who helps organizations unlock growth and consumer brands gain momentum— especially when the business needs sharper strategy, renewed relevance, and a modern go-to-market engine. I bring a unique combination of insight, strategic, commercial rigor and brand building from CPG with the agility, creativity and entrepreneurial can-do attitude from P/E. I translate global brand strategy into P&L results by defining portfolio strategy, creating brand platforms, accelerating innovation, and executing 360 omnichannel marketing for beauty, wellness and consumer categories sold across retail, professional channels and eCommerce. I’m energized by building what’s next, not maintaining what was. I stay current on emerging technologies, including Gen AI, and apply them thoughtfully to improve speed, insight and marketing effectiveness. Most recently:•Scaled haircare portfolio revenue $330M → $550M, becoming company #1 source of profitable growth•Transformed a portfolio of heritage beauty brands (Sebastian Professional, Nioxin, System Professional) achieving double digit growth, improved equity and conversion by dialing up credentials and cultural relevance, integrated storytelling, insight-led innovation, creator partnerships, and 360 brand campaigns (digital, social, ecommerce, retail and experiential) •Tripled innovation contribution with award-winning, margin accretive launches•Led a Fortune 500 Masterbrand repositioning and integrated marketing during MetLife major business and strategic marketing transformation •Built high-performing teams across US and Europe driving +20 points of engagement while delivering 15% efficiencies. From large global organizations to more entrepreneurial P/E backed businesses, I am known as highly adaptable with a growth mindset, building influential cross partnerships to navigate complex, fast moving environments. A talent catalyst, I build and empower inclusive teams bringing focus, accountability, with room to think creatively and celebrate wins as one team. Fun fact: I’m a dual French–American citizen and have traveled all 7 continents and 50+ countries. Curiosity is part of my operating system! If you’re building a consumer brand that needs its next chapter—new relevance, faster growth, stronger margins—let’s connect.
