About me
After a first degree in engineering, I started my career with an Internet start up, Agoride.com. Working from a very early stage, I had the opportunity to work across many roles and develop the company for three years.
I later decided to go further in my knowledge of digital solutions and strategy skills and graduated with a 2:1 master’s degree from IIM Paris. While studying, I worked on a social network & mobile solution for Largardere Active and a business plan to create a wireless Internet service provider.
I also followed a digital strategy fellowship program in three major marketing services groups (WPP, Havas and Omnicom) for a total period of 18 months. The program develops high-calibre management and strategic talent with experience across a range of digital marketing firms.
After my degree, I decided to move to London where I joined Tribal DDB as a strategic planner. For three years, I worked on The Guardian, Guinness, Volkswagen and new business. With Tribal’s expansive network and Global Exchange Program, I had the chance to travel around the world to visit Tribal DDB in India, Asia, Japan and the US and develop Tribal DDB’s innovation department. I also received a silver award at the Account Planning Group creative strategy awards for Volkswagen.
I am now a strategic planner at AKQA working primarily on Nokia.
