Summary

I’m a purpose-driven insights professional with a BCom in Economics and Risk Management, passionate about translating complex shopper and market data into clear, actionable strategies that drive profitable growth. With a sharp understanding of consumer behaviour, category dynamics, and data analytics, I bridge the gap between numbers and strategic decisions. My expertise lies in developing and implementing end-to-end data strategies, leading cross-functional collaboration, and transforming insights into commercial action — ensuring that business decisions are not just informed but inspired. I thrive in fast-paced FMCG environments, using both economic insight and risk-thinking to anticipate shifts, manage uncertainty, and fuel innovation.
