I am a Master in Management candidate at INSEAD with experience across M&A, restructuring, and consulting. My work has focused on transaction-related analysis, financial modeling, and supporting strategic decision-making in complex business situations.
I am particularly interested in strategic roles at the intersection of transactions, advisory, and business building, where analytical rigor and commercial judgment are required to drive growth and transformation. I am especially drawn to consumer-facing industries shaped by strong brand dynamics, content, and evolving business models.

Alongside my professional experience, I have taken on leadership roles in investment initiatives and spent several years coaching a youth football team. These experiences have strengthened my ability to structure problems, communicate clearly, and take ownership in team-driven environments.
