Description

I am a results-oriented, inclusive and highly collaborative corporate communications professional with 15 years of experience across media relations, investor relations, digital and brand, and internal communications. I spent 12 years working in London and have been based in Paris since 2018. I have a strong focus on delivery and outcomes and have developed a reputation for leadership, problem solving and adaptability. I am financially literate and have successfully managed external agencies and budgets.

My experience in complex global organisations has given me a good understanding of the different human dynamics that underwrite successful teams. I have driven large and demanding projects with multiple senior stakeholders. I have a strong track record in generating positive business impacts, meeting tight deadlines and exceeding expectations as well as anticipating problems or adapting quickly and proactively to changing circumstances.

I was a key member of the team that built a strong and impactful communications strategy for Adevinta/leboncoin's successful US$9b bid to acquire eBay Classifieds Group in 2020.
