Profile
I get brands talked about. In the press, on stage and in the room.
PR, marketing communications and events in banking, game-dev ad tech, real estate and hospitality. More than 50 corporate and brand events for 20 to 1,200 guests, brand identities for six real-estate projects and a keynote in São Paulo. At CAS.ai (2022–23) I led PR and business development; over those two years the company gained 190+ new B2B clients.
Started as a journalist, became Head of PR at Piraeus Bank in Ukraine and went on to be PR Director at international companies, working closely with senior management, product teams, HR and outside PR, advertising and social media agencies. Graduate of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (London). Easy to work with, good at leading and motivating a team, and able to get a conversation going with almost anyone.
