Über mich

"Don't build links. Build relationships". Following the quote by Rand Fishkin, I have always been passionate about building meaningful connections. As an International Marketing, Business Development, LinkedIn Sales Enablement Manager, and awarded Sports Sponsorship Executive, I strongly believe in empathy, compassion, and emotional intelligence as foundations of our purpose. I've had the rewarding privilege of leading, inspiring diverse teams in competitive, fast-paced, evolving environments. I'm also a proud champion of diversity and inclusion, genuinely committed to building an atmosphere where everyone around me feels they have a voice and a role. Coupled with a passion for supporting others in reaching their potential motivates me, driving my career to contribute and inspire others.
