I’m a Cascais-based board advisor and mentor with deep expertise in commercial strategy, corporate dynamics, and business growth.
Ex-PepsiCo and Novartis, and as the founder of two boutique consultancies I’ve built an international consulting career helping corporates and private equity portfolio companies in Life Sciences, Medtech, Consumer Healthcare and Food, launch, scale, and accelerate products and businesses.
I have counted some of the top players in health and CPG among my clients including AstraZeneca, Alcon, Biogen, B Braun, Chiesi, Danone, Fresenius, Gedeon Richter, Merck, Medtronic, Novartis, Takeda, Teva and others.
Partnering with senior leaders at these companies, I’ve developed strategic and operating plans, shaped channel and category strategies, launched products and brands, deployed commercial initiatives, built organizational capabilities, and facilitated the transformation of teams into high-performing powerhouses.
Known to senior leaders as the ‘Rocket Booster,’ I bring not only sharp strategic insights but also the focused energy needed to drive actions and deliver tangible results.
Right now, I’m based in Portugal and work globally to enhance the impact and effectiveness of board teams as they navigate significant milestones, tackle challenges and drive growth.
Beyond work I am a proud mom of two boys, an avid skier, and a devoted Portugal enthusiast (instagram @bruxellesblonde). I am also a columnist, and a poet (loveandlisbon).
Acclaimed strategic offsites designed to tackle team and business challenges through a proven, highly interactive, results-driven approach.
Senior teams benefit from regular, structured ‘strategic containers’ – dedicated, distraction-free time to think, plan, and align as a team:
Together, we accelerate thinking, actions, solutions, and results – all in one power-packed session.
Specialized services to address pivotal moments and challenges within board operations.
Through one-on-one mentoring and targeted problem-solving, this service ensures boards can effectively navigate crises, resolve conflicts, and enhance both individual and collective performance:
This service equips boards to maintain resilience and drive effectiveness during critical moments.
Hands-on board support and business generation tailored to your organization's needs.
This service empowers organizations to achieve growth, build connections, and unlock new opportunities for success.
I am known for strategic acumen and clear thinking as well as the ability to translate strategy into brutally practical execution that delivers performance and business results.
I support companies in delivering sales because sales results open doors to elevation and expansion of people and companies in addition to being a cure to many (most?) problems.
I am naturally high energy, present, focused and driven. My clients call me a 'rocket booster' referring to the energy, stamina and acceleration I bring to projects and interactions.
I enjoy privileged relationships with c-suite and boardroom leaders in global life science and CPG companies. This remarkable, high value, global network is a product of decades of service and trust.
