How I can help
My professional background
I have completed a double master degree in Management with a Major in strategy and entrepreneurship, during which supporting and consulting startups was part of the curriculum. After that, I worked with the Digital Health startup accelerator at Bayer (GrantsforApps) and moved on to my current job at adidas. Within my projects at adidas, I also supported the creation and set up of the adidas startup acceleration program (Platform A at Station F). At adidas, I completed a trainee program in Global Sales and in my current role, I ensure the store staff's jobs are simplified through the digitalization of processes so that consumer experiences are improved.

I have completed a double master degree in Management with a Major in strategy and entrepreneurship, during which supporting and consulting startups was part of the curriculum.

Within my projects at adidas, I also supported the creation and set up of the adidas startup acceleration program (Platform A at Station F). In addition, I am French and Brazilian, speak 4 languages fluently and particularly enjoy to communicate and connect with people. Nowadays, I am highly interested in design driven working methods such as design thinking, service design and change management. I will be very happy to apply this skillset and frameworks to challenges faced by entrepreneurs.
My expectations for a successful mentoring relationship
I would love for this to be a collaboration where I can bring previous skills or experiences to support in finding answers to challenges faced by the entrepreneurs. I am volunteering to bring an outside perspective to your business and support you in your growth.
How entrepreneurs can prepare before we start
It would be ideal to look after a specific challenge the company faces, or a specific goal the company has. I would also love to hear their expectations on our mentoring relationship and how can we draw the best value out of this collaboration.
