About
In 10 years at a marketing research and strategic consultancy, I've influenced consumer insights, marketing, sales, R&D, c-suite, and front-line audiences at Fortune 1000 brands to make consumer-centric decisions, and turn those decisions into actions. I have a proven track record of delivery excellence, addressing (often ambiguous) business objectives while captaining a team dynamic where everyone shines. My personal purpose is to "boldly pursue collective greatness" with my internal project teams and my clients. This drive has allowed me to elevate my skills within Gongos/Human8 from being a Summer Research Intern in 2015 to being a Strategy & Implementation Lead today. Here’s to the next decade of bold pursuits and collective greatness! 🚀✨
