About
I specialize in strategic account management, long-term partnership development, and scaling commercial operations.
In e-commerce, I managed over 20 accounts across all major marketplaces, including flagship brands such as Panasonic and Whirlpool. I owned financial performance, revenue growth, and listing efficiency while coordinating cross-functional teams (content, advertising, analytics) and serving as a trusted strategic advisor to clients.
At Evolwe, an AI startup, I forged partnerships with Oxford, Stanford, and UCLA — designing and launching internship programs while securing over $300,000 in funding from AWS, NVIDIA, and Notion.
At London Gates Education Group, I led sales and managed teams across seven international offices. My focus extends beyond meeting targets — I build sustainable, trust-based relationships. Clients return to me years later; that is my personal KPI.
I am open to opportunities across new industries.
