Interests & speaking style
I'm drawn to teaching because most of what I've learned in 13+ years of commercial leadership — structured problem-solving, trade economics, building channels from scratch — isn't well covered in standard marketing curricula, despite being exactly what students need for case interviews and GTM/sales roles. I've designed and delivered foundational marketing and sales workshops for commercial teams at Unilever, and my style leans practical and case-driven: I like teaching through real, numbers-backed examples from my own work (brand launches, trade negotiations, channel builds) rather than abstract theory, and I favor interactive discussion — testing a framework against a live example — over straight lecture format.
