Summary
As a Venture Manager at Capitalinka Investments and partner at NutritiousDr, I guide startups and established brands through strategic growth, operational optimization, and sustainable value creation. With an MBA, a BSc in Food Engineering, and certifications in coaching, functional nutrition, and breathwork, I offer a unique, multidimensional perspective to leadership and business consulting. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve led international sales, marketing, and business development projects across Europe and MENA with global brands like Kraft, IFF, Diageo, and Unilever. My work has ranged from corporate leadership to entrepreneurial ventures, including founding markAthink, a strategic branding and consulting agency for SMEs. But I’ve also learned that performance is unsustainable without wellbeing. That’s why I now specialize in helping corporate women leaders and executive teams shift from burnout-driven hustle to embodied, resilient, and clear-minded leadership—combining strategic insight with state management tools like: Functional nutrition & gut-brain health Breathwork and sensory awareness Leadership coaching and resilience practices Whether I’m advising investors on market opportunities or guiding high-achieving women leaders through a nutrition reset to regain clarity, my goal is the same: To align performance with wellbeing—for sustainable success. Focus Areas: Strategic Growth & Market Expansion Leadership & Team Empowerment Wellness-Centered Performance Coaching Sensory Intelligence & Executive Presence Business Consulting for Food, Wellness, and Service Brands Let’s connect if you're: A female leader or executive ready to reclaim your energy, clarity, and impact A business seeking conscious growth and strategy rooted in sustainability An organization looking to integrate wellbeing into leadership culture
