HELLO!

I bridge the gap between Fortune 500 operational rigor, corporate brand strategy, and luxury marketing education. My focus: transitioning luxury brands into the future through data-driven go-to-market strategies and high-touch guest experience design. With 7+ years leading global F&B brands at PepsiCo and 3 years as Professor at SCAD, I combine commercial discipline with specialized research in luxury brand management and GenAI innovation to drive measurable business growth.

​

At PepsiCo, I managed portfolios for Doritos, Lays, and Cheetos across 6 Sub-Saharan Africa markets—delivering +30% sustained growth for two consecutive years. I led a $1.9M annual marketing budget with partial P&L accountability, executed 360° integrated campaigns and product launches across diverse markets, and drove cross-functional collaboration to accelerate portfolio expansion.

​

As Professor of Fashion Marketing and Graduate Coordinator for Luxury and Brand Management at SCAD, I pioneer AI integration across the luxury business and fashion marketing curriculum, develop brand strategists who blend creative vision with business acumen, lead curriculum innovation, and bridge industry practice with academic excellence, while directing SCAD's Fashion Scholarship Fund business strategy case study competitions, achieving 9 scholarship wins across three consecutive years—contributing to SCAD's #1 national ranking for FSF scholarship recipients.

​

I'm a strategist and storyteller who creates authentic brand experiences that drive real business growth. I'm particularly passionate about brand leadership and digital transformation (AI strategy) in luxury hospitality, where innovation, marketing excellence, and human-centric strategy converge to build genuine connection, desire, and brand love.
