In her current role, she disrupted the period care category with taboo-breaking campaigns like #BloodNormal, Viva La Vulva, #WombStories, #Periodsomnia, and #NeverJustAPeriod which tackled toxic stereotypes around periods, vaginas, and women’s bodies to create a new normal.

In the last 20 years, she’s lived across 3 continents, worked across a broad range of brands in regional and global roles, always having innovation and sustainability, but above all the consumer, in mind.
