A product mind with a human touch.

I'm an Account Manager at Amazon EU managing 180+ SKU portfolios, driving demand forecasting, and building senior-level vendor relationships. Before that, I analyzed mobile gaming markets at Ubisoft across Asia and Europe.

Outside the office I coach students on breaking into competitive careers — CVs, interviews, strategy. I've also run sessions directly in business schools as a career mentor, and I'd love to keep doing it.

Equal parts analyst, strategist, and gamer. I also read too much sci-fi and spend weekends optimizing my PC build.
