About

Hi! đŸ‘‹

I have a decade of experience working on global brands like PepsiCo, Unilever and L'Oreal, using strategy and cultural insights to grow brands, products and people.

My expertise is in community-building and engaging #GenZ and emerging markets in the FMCG, Startup and Beauty categories. I am passionate about helping founders build dynamic and future-fit brands. This led to my appointment to the Youth Advisory Board of The Body Shop in London and Nova Ideation in Johannesburg.

As a true millennial, when I am not consulting, you can find me in a Pilates class or with a strong oat milk latte in hand.
