Summary
As a creative leader, I am passionate about emulating teamwork. Having spent more than 15 years in the advertising industry, I recently oriented my skills towards creatively innovative and agile digital productions. Having managed several companies, I know how to work independently with specific goals while I value the need for reporting to hierarchical superiors.
