I joined Coty EDM as Brand Manager for Gucci Beauty and Burberry Beauty, covering a maternity leave in one of the company’s most strategic regions.
In just a few weeks, I was leading brand operations across more than 40 markets - balancing global storytelling with local market performance.
Two months in, I was invited to present the Gucci Beauty EMEA strategy on stage to over 250 business partners - building a narrative-driven, data-backed keynote that inspired teams and aligned markets around ambitious growth goals.
