As an accomplished leader with more than 25 years working in the dynamic realm of UX and creative services, I bring a proven track record of driving transformative initiatives and fostering innovation.

My extensive experience extends to leading a global team, collaborating with high-profile clients such as Schneider Electric, Fox Sports, and Disney.
Leveraging a blend of strategic vision and hands-on expertise, I have successfully implemented design systems, integrated cutting-edge technologies like Generative AI, and championed cost-effective measures. I am always eager to bring my strategic leadership and innovative mindset to a new challenge in a prominent leadership role.
