 THE PROBLEM

Have you ever noticed that your growth only accelerates when you increase ad spend? This is a consequence of missed opportunities with your right customer typology.

My past work as a freelancer includes eCommerce beauty pure players such as XpertBeauty or Parfimo, important European omnichannel players that I worked with for a total of >6 years.


THE SOLUTION

In most D2C brands, stalled or spend-dependent growth often comes from focusing too much on transactions, being uninspiring, or misreading the data, resulting in lost customer interest.

In B2B, growth depends on credibility and delivering more value than your competitor.


With more than 14 years of commercial and marketing experience in roles where I carried responsibility for revenue and marketplace growth, I developed a system to address the fundamentals: how to differentiate your brand and position it effectively to attract higher-value clients—whether in B2B or B2C e-commerce.


WHAT I AM NOT

I’m not a typical business developer. I am not a miracle worker for your typical mass-market brand.

I’m not here to add noise.

Many have opinions and will try to sell you ads. I am here to tell you the truth and identify the solution to your problem.

the BRANDS i WORK WITh

Brands driven by a passion for quality, creativity and creators of experiences.

Also, I collaborate with a marketing agency that is a Google, Meta Partner and do digital demand audits and another agency for SEO. I work only with the best agencies with proven results.
