About Me

10 years working in the media industry has taught me a lot of things. How to handle clients, how to successfully plan media activities and handle requests, how to produce great reporting and studies, how to manage a team... But above all, it taught me the Human is at the heart of everything. Don't get me wrong, data and technology are key but still need a person to create value. Companies have to adapt, brands have to change, new trends are created and some business models disappear. It led me to believe that what comes first is the quality of people you work with and a project that drives us all in the same direction as a team. We, as a group of people, benefit from each person's experiences, individualities, personal history and knowledge. This is what drives me: working with great people around great projects.
