Post-MBA, I shifted from working with large corporations to helping independent brands scale globally. I joined Evidens de Beaut\u00e9 in Paris as International Sales Director, leading a strategy to grow the business tenfold\u2014a challenging and exhilarating endeavor set by the brand\u2019s owner. After a stint in distribution in London, I joined Gritti &amp; Gleam, where I developed a relaunch strategy for Gleam to capture the Gen Z market.
