In my own words

Andre

<p>I elevate <strong>Marketing </strong>and <strong>Sales </strong>strategies with uncomplicated plans and processes.

No buzz-word bingo, just 15+ years from scrappy start-ups and large companies like <strong>PayPal </strong>and <strong>Red Bull</strong>. I bring an <strong>entrepreneurial </strong>approach blending business acumen with big scale tactics from <strong>Tech, Retail </strong>and <strong>CPG. </strong>Known for modernizing <strong>P&amp;L Management </strong>and <strong>Marketing Operations </strong>my <strong>Data-Driven </strong>approach is boosted by an <strong>MBA </strong>in <strong>Marketing Analytics</strong>. I am passionate for building and coaching teams, fostering human connections, and learning new businesses.&nbsp;</p>
