I am a creative entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in launching and scaling diverse businesses, online and offline and creating impactful brands.
My earliest entrepreneurial successes include selling a cosmetic dental practice I helped double, and self-publishing my first business on how to leverage outsourced talents in 2015. At the end of that same year, I embarked on an adventurous journey with my husband, launching a disruptive health tech business, growing it from conception to a team of 60+ with mid-7 figure annual revenues in just four years. This journey taught me invaluable lessons in both business and life.
One lesson that stood out to me is that everything is temporary, whether highs or lows.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
My journey, born in France, studying in Greece and the UK, getting married in India and making Portugal my home in 2017, has given me a unique perspective and an appreciation for different cultures and ways of thinking. I embrace pursuing multiple passions simultaneously, whether it’s launching an innovative business, becoming a wellness practitioner or delving into culinary arts. This eclectic mix allows me to experience life fully and bring a unique blend of skills and perspectives to everything I do.
I am not afraid to take risks and embrace the unknown. It’s this mindset that has driven my success and allows me to inspire others to do the same.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
My personal health journey learning to live with an autoimmune disease (coeliac), led me to become a Health & Nutrition Coach, Sound Healing Therapist, and now training as an anti-inflammatory chef. I leverage my business experience and personal health insights to guide others on the path to an inflammation-free life.
Alongside my business consulting and mentoring work, I take pleasure in creating impactful content and premium wellness experiences, collaborating with brands to inspire healthier habits. This allows me to channel my energy and creativity into projects where success is measured by positive impact and enjoyment, not just monetary gain.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
I work 1:1 with health and wellness entrepreneurs, coaching and mentoring them to launch, optimise, and scale impactful brands.
I also collaborate with early-stage health tech startups, serving at the intersection of agency, incubator, and advisor. My role spans from the conception phase, including ideation, story building, fundraising, and prototyping, to brand and growth NED roles.
