I have studied in France at the CESEM, part of Reims Management School, ranked first International Business School in France. After two and a half years in Reims, I moved to Boston where I completed both my DESEM (Diploma of Superior Studies in European Management) and my Masters Degree in Business Administration (Double Majoring in Management and Marketing), at Northeastern University in Boston, MA.
Currently residing in San Francisco, I am the Director of Marketing for the largest Architecture firm of the Bay Area: KMD.
With over 8 years of experience in Sales, Marketing, Communications, Project and Team Management, I have built over the years strong management skills and a profound understanding of strategic planning and brand positioning.
