En résumé

Je suis disponible pour discuter d'opportunités à temps plein ou freelance / contrat CDD, principalement en Europe (Paris, Londres, Amsterdam).

I was born in New York, raised in Paris, lived in London, travelled around China and Southeast Asia for a while and am now living in Singapore. I have a mixed international background I'm proud of and I believe this has given me an appreciation and curiosity for understanding people from a variety of cultures and backgrounds.

I'm generally fascinated by people, how we all communicate, and all sorts of technologies. I was plugged in front of screens for longer than I can remember: television first, then the early days of the Minitel in France, then on to the Web when it became available.

I have worked closely with a number of brands to help them define effective digital and brand communications strategies on local, regional (Europe and Asia), and global levels. I am also regularly involved in new business development, as well as team management.

I have worked in collaboration with multi-disciplinary teams across projects as varied as integrated advertising campaigns, digital marketing campaigns, branding projects, website redesigns, web/mobile applications, internal communications initiatives, and social media initiatives.

Main clients include Toyota, Lexus, Subway, Olay, Atlantic LNG, Republic Bank, Shell Global, Hertz, Sony Ericsson, adidas, Sure, and VW Commercial Vehicles.

Award won: 2012 Silver Effie in Singapore for Subway Christmas campaign, 2013 Bronze Asia Marketing Effectiveness award in Digital Strategy for P&G's Eukanuba brand in Australia.
