About

I love solving complex problems – starting from a blank whiteboard and transforming it into strategic and actionable recommendations. Professionally, I have been doing this repeatedly for ~5 years now for clients across industry verticals (primarily FMCG/ CPG). I’m a solution-oriented individual committed to work on the most challenging and diverse engagements. Currently, I solve problems for some of largest FMCG companies as a Senior Associate consultant at Frederic Fernandez & Associates, a bespoke strategy consulting firm that exclusively serves FMCG companies. Competencies: Strategy | E-commerce | DTC | Business Model Innovation | Digital M&A | Growth & Profit Turnaround
