About Me

Soon-to-be MSc Economics (Management) graduate, currently based near Zurich, with a unique mix of creative and analytical skills. My background in Architecture honed my ability to communicate complex ideas visually and persuasively—skills I’ve applied to financial analysis, procurement, investor materials, and strategic consulting for startups across Europe and Asia. A decade in China and several years in Europe give me strong cross-cultural adaptability and a focus on measurable business outcomes. In August 2026 I relocate to Dallas, Texas to continue my work with Hilti. I thrive at the intersection of business strategy, operations, and client engagement—where clarity, adaptability, and impact are key.
