My leadership extended to spearheading recruitment and training across 11 countries, solidifying Google’s global community presence.

Transitioning to entrepreneurship, I founded and directed a successful digital marketing agency, achieving remarkable results such as a 527% annual increase in leads for ARX Fit and a 20% increase in appointment bookings for Swish Dental.
