Description

COO/CEO with 20 years of experience in the luxury and consumer industries, helping leadership teams navigate brand-sensitive transformations, post-merger integrations, and executive-level conflict. Combining strategic insight, psychological fluency, and analytical depth, I decode complex dynamics across industries, value chains, and stakeholder landscapes. I support high-stakes decision-making through rapid diagnostics or deep analysis, always grounded in business logic and human behavior. Clients turn to me when performance stalls, tensions rise, or brand integrity is at risk.
