I’m a strategic operator with a background that bridges consulting, marketing, and business operations. I started my career in financial communications and transitioned into marketing leadership in tech companies, becoming CMO and board member. Along the way, I took on broader responsibilities leading initiatives like a full product revamp and company rebrand, which helped me discover my passion for operational execution and cross-functional leadership. Currently, I focus on building and optimising Zama's GTM engine - from sales operations and CRM strategy to pipeline building, marketing, team structure and accountability as well as cross-functional collaboration. My strength lies in turning strategic vision into execution. I thrive in environments where operations need to be built from scratch, and play a critical role in connecting customer insight, product direction, GTM and revenue generation. I help tech founders overcome the operational overwhelm to focus on vision, strategy and product.
