I,m an adaptable, recursive and inquisitive individual; gained

international experience both in Americas and Europe, I have been strongly trained on research, branding & social media; I

consider my self one-of-a-kind expert in quali-quanti studies.

Currently working on Brand Management, social media

positioning and innovation processes.

I would like to actively boost a career that allows me to keep

managing projects where brands can be innovated to listen and engage customers. That is my passion!
