INTERIM MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING

THIS IS ME

I am a German-Spanish dual citizen with a truly international background. I grew up across Iran, Brazil, and beyond and continue to study, work, and live around the world. This global mindset enables me to be an agile project manager in fast-paced & ever-changing corporate environments.

I specialize in acting as a strategic sparring partner across strategy, business development, marketing, and sales. I work closely with top management during change, offering a high-level perspective to analyze trends, identify opportunities, and steer transformation.

My project scope ranges from standard restructuring and change programs to brand strategy development and group-wide rollouts.

As an Interim Manager, I support organizations in mastering the challenges of digital transformation by driving progress with clarity, focus, and sustainable impact.

My German and Spanish heritage deeply shaped me. I am a strategic thinker, a very well-organized individual, and I possess both passion and emotionality. This makes life and projects exciting.

Professionally, I’ve worked globally - in India, the UK, Switzerland, and the USA- gaining hands-on experience in international and multicultural environments.

Change and new beginnings aren’t challenges to me; they’re development opportunities.
Mobility, agility, and adaptability are part of my DNA.

Over the years, I’ve worked within complex, multinational organizations, leading cultural change and supporting turnarounds with clear and impactful communication strategies.

For over a decade, I held various marketing and communications roles at the Group Headquarters and national entities of a global industrial firm.

For the past 12 years, I have used my experiences in a wide range of consulting projects and interim mandates, hence, have the opportunity to combine the best practices of different industries.

My academic background includes:

  • EMBA in Luxury Management at Bocconi & ESSEC

  • MBA (focus on Change, Leadership, & Comm.) at
    TU Munich & Columbia

  • Postgraduate in International Relations at Universidad Complutense Madrid

  • Diplom in Political Science, Economics & Law at Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Uni. Bonn
