Throughout my career, I have held pivotal roles at renowned companies such as Woolworths, British American Tobacco, Symphony Retail AI, and NielsenIQ. My expertise spans global PMO management, product management, trade marketing, and category management, where I have successfully driven strategy and execution across diverse markets. I have a strong background in working with syndicated and travel retail-specific data sources including IRI, Nielsen, Panel Insights, GenR Pi insights, Forwardkeys, and M1nd-set, which has enabled me to develop commercially successful, insight-driven brand strategies. I am passionate about building premium brands that resonate globally while delivering measurable growth. As a business owner and product manager, I have developed and launched products, managed P&Ls, and led digital marketing initiatives. My experience includes international business setup and development, trade and category management, space planning, and IT strategy development and implementation. I am adept at business process mapping, brand re-engineering, and performance management development and reporting. I have held senior roles such as Senior Solutions Consultant at Symphony AI, where I led pre-sales activities, presented AI retail solutions, and managed project implementation. Currently, I am contracted as a Product Manager for the Pho3nix Club, overseeing rebranding, business systems management, and event planning. My entrepreneurial spirit is demonstrated through founding SWOZZI GmbH, an online active swimwear business, where I manage product development, digital marketing, sponsorships, production, and distribution. I have also co-owned and consulted for a cocktail business, contributing to product development and market launch. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong project and program management skills, including PRINCE2 and SCRUM accreditation, managing global projects for British American Tobacco, and facilitating training workshops. I am experienced in stakeholder management, supplier evaluation, and delivering business improvement projects aligned with strategic objectives. I am committed to continuous learning and development, holding a Bachelor of Commerce with triple majors, a Certificate in Market Research, and a Masters in Human Nutrition. I am fluent in English and German and hold Swiss and Australian citizenships. ## Skills ### [Project Management](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Project+Management.md)[Customer Service](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Customer+Service.md)[Data Analysis](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Data+Analysis.md)[Business Development](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Business+Development.md)[Stakeholder Management](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Stakeholder+Management.md)[Relationship Management](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Relationship+Management.md)[Digital Marketing](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Digital+Marketing.md)[Market Research](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Market+Research.md)[Budget Management](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Budget+Management.md)[Change Management](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Change+Management.md)[Performance Management](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Performance+Management.md)[Scrum](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Scrum.md)[Graphic Design](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Graphic+Design.md)[Social Media Marketing](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Social+Media+Marketing.md)[Event Planning](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Event+Planning.md)[Brand Strategy](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Brand+Strategy.md)[Adobe Photoshop](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Adobe+Photoshop.md)[Adobe Illustrator](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Adobe+Illustrator.md)[Adobe Creative Cloud](https://jobicy.com/community?skill_filter=Adobe+Creative+Cloud.md) ## Education Griffith University of Queensland 1991/2000 Bachelor of Commerce with triple major in Marketing, Human Resource Management, Retail Management Australian Market Research Association 1999/2000 Certificate in Market Research Deakin University 2002/2006 Masters in Human Nutrition ## Experience Senior Solutions Consultant @ Symphony AI 2022 - 2023 Pre-sales role for Symphony AI Retail portfolio; leadership during sales cycle; presented customer-centric retail sales cycle solutions; conducted SWOT analysis; facilitated discovery meetings; involved in retail sales cycles; defined scope and deliverables; post-sales implementation; project management for a customer in Latvia.
