About Barbara

Results-Driven Marketing Leader | Beauty & Personal Care | Innovation & Strategy

International marketing professional with 15+ years of experience in cosmetics and personal care, including 7 years in leadership roles. I combine a strong scientific background with deep industry expertise, having driven product innovation, brand strategy, and go-to-market execution across global beauty giants.

Starting as a neuroscientist, I transitioned to L’Oréal, where I spent 8 years shaping product marketing for brands like La Roche-Posay and Carita. I specialized in NPD, innovation roadmaps, and multi-channel communication strategies, covering pharmacies, perfumeries, beauty institutes, and medical devices.

I then led a corporate beauty venture at Philips before managing the Global No.1 female hair removal portfolio, overseeing P&L, product strategy, and marketing communications. My track record spans B2B and B2C brands, delivering disruptive innovations, fostering high-performing teams, and driving business growth through integrated, results-focused strategies.

Let’s build the future together.
