Business Strategy Consultant | Driving Market Expansion, AI-Enabled Operations & Revenue Growth

About Me

I help startups/scale-ups turn strategy into measurable outcomes, whether that’s entering new markets, refining their product positioning, or unlocking new revenue streams. With ~4 years of experience working closely with C-level leadership in fast-paced, high-growth environments, I have led initiatives across market expansion, competitive intelligence, and AI-enabled operations. My work has contributed to fundraising readiness, identified €1M+ revenue opportunities, and improved execution speed across cross-functional teams. What sets my approach apart is the ability to bridge high-level strategy with hands-on execution. I don’t just deliver recommendations. I build actionable plans, align stakeholders, and help teams implement them effectively. Key areas I support: 1) Market entry strategy & expansion planning (e.g., U.S. market entry) 2) Competitive intelligence & strategic insights (AI-enhanced analysis) 3) Revenue strategy & business case development 4) AI-enabled workflow optimization & performance tracking 5) Strategic planning (OKRs, roadmap design, stakeholder alignment) I have worked in international environments across Europe, Australia, and India, and I am comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-growth settings where clarity and execution speed matter. If you are looking for someone who can combine structured thinking, data-driven insights, and practical execution, I would be happy to collaborate.
