About

As a newsroom manager and leader in digital innovation and news strategy, I specialize in driving transformation, editorial development, and building bridges to deliver impactful projects. My expertise centers on developing and implementing cutting-edge storytelling formats that engage today’s audiences across Europe. With over a decade of experience at the intersection of journalism, technology, and international collaboration, I’ve consistently led cross-functional teams to blend innovation and strategy, turning ideas into successful storytelling products. Whether launching new platforms, spearheading digital-first content, or navigating emerging trends, I thrive where editorial creativity, leadership, and problem-solving intersect. Beyond my current role at ARTE, I’m passionate about mentoring the next generation of media professionals. I teach at the graduate and MBA levels and frequently speak at industry events across Europe and the U.S. As a bilingual trainer and speaker, I’ve presented at over 25 conferences on media, tech, and innovation.
