Cristina Gallo's Linkedin Analytics

I am a passionate Marketing professional with an international background (IT, USA, DE, UK) and 5+ years of wide-ranging marketing experience. I started my career as a Marketing Manager for a luxury jewellery brand in London and continued as a Brand Manager for a premium coffee brand listed among the “100 F&B Excellences” by Forbes Italia (2021). Thanks to my academic and work experiences in Italy, the USA, Germany, and the UK, I gained a breadth of knowledge in marketing, especially in brand management, event management and communication (B2C and B2B). To which I add exceptional organizational and project management skills (my colleagues joke I have an Excel file for anything...and they are not wrong!). As a marketing generalist, I work on the creation, execution and implementation of integrated marketing plans. I am involved in strategy development, project management, and hands-on delivery to align marketing efforts with business goals. It's hard to put my curiosity and drive to rest, so in my free time I enjoy taking long walks (by the sea) whilst listening to my favourite podcasts about entrepreneurship, marketing and personal development. Feel free to connect if we share the same interests or work in the same industry!
