About Stephanie

I help founders and leadership teams clarify their brand positioning, structure their marketing strategy and align commercial decisions with measurable growth.


With a background as a fashion tech founder and experience in business development, brand strategy and AI driven retail innovation, I bring both entrepreneurial and strategic perspective. I understand the pressure of scaling, repositioning and making high impact decisions with limited resources.


My added value lies in connecting brand, market and commercial performance. I do not deliver isolated marketing ideas. I build structured strategies that translate into clear priorities, aligned teams and sustainable revenue growth.
I typically support companies with:
  • Brand and market positioning
  • Go to market strategy
  • Growth and commercial roadmaps
  • Marketing structure and prioritisation
  • Strategic alignment between marketing and business objectives
  • Advisory support during scaling or transformation
Having built and scaled a startup myself, I combine strategic thinking with operational realism. I focus on clarity, accountability and impact.

Strategy should drive decisions, not sit in slides.


I work internationally and speak five languages, enabling me to operate confidently across international markets.
