In the last two decades I've specialised in designing and developing foresight intelligence for strategic direction.
Moving between senior leadership seats at large brands and retailers across Europe and Asia, with a recurring objective being strategic transformation, my experience spans foresight research and strategy, building brand identity, creative concept, collection design & development, sustainability strategy, and team management.
