About Me

I began my career at Philips Electronics, developing content identification technologies. Later, as EVP of Product Strategy & Partnerships at Sorenson Media—a pioneer in addressable TV acquired by Nielsen—I shaped strategies that bridged technology and media. At Nielsen, I served as SVP of Advanced Advertising, leading business development, product strategy, and partnerships until the division was acquired by Roku.

Subsequently, I joined Comcast's FreeWheel as Head of Global Partnerships, driving collaboration across the media ecosystem to scale premium CTV, partnering with industry leaders such as Google, Amazon, and NBC. 

Most recently, as Chief Partnership Officer at Nielsen, I spearheaded strategic initiatives in ad tech, measurement, data, and AI, working with C-Suite executives to foster innovation and growth across the media industry.

Let’s shape the future of media together!
