Within a few months I’ve tackled projects ranging from data analysis to hiring processes.
Partner Dashboard
Built and managed an internal web application dashboard tool for our 80+ gastronomy partners to allow them to track their most relevant performance and revenue metrics.
Cluster analysis
Conducted a food order analysis, analyzing 250.000+ data points to infer performance conclusions based on the population size of the areas our partners operate in.
Hiring process
Collaborated with Luca to streamline our hiring process, implementing several micro-processes for active lead generation, different talent acquisition channels, and offer generation. As you see in the article above, we could fill 18 roles in appr. 2 months.

If university taught you to analyze — this teaches you to execute. You’ll work hands-on in real operations, finding what’s broken, and turning insights into processes, tooling, and automations. Less theory, more learning-by-doing — with the pace, prioritization, and ownership that makes improvements stick.
Building high-impact ops automations with modern tech tools
Hands-on work in Central Ops, focused on turning everyday operational tasks into scalable workflows using automation builders, lightweight databases, and no-/low-code setups. Learning-by-doing, fast iteration, and practical ownership made it possible to ship improvements quickly and remove busywork through smart automation.
Built Leadership dashboards to unlock growth in blindspots
Built Dashboards were built to give leadership a high-level view of performance, bottlenecks, and where things break in the funnel. Translated insights into focused problem-solving: digging into root causes, prioritizing the biggest levers, and reshaping processes so teams could act faster.
Scaling a cross-functional PM role from hands-on ops to a repeatable process
Piloted a new interdepartmental project-management setup across Expansion and Central Operations, first operated directly, then turned into a structured process with clear scope, handovers, and routines. The role has since been transitioned into a dedicated full-time position.

Loco Creator Program
Owned the further development and scaling of the Loco Chicken Creator Program, working closely with the Head of Marketing and Senior Brand Manager. This involved heavy automation, restructuring, and expanding into new countries. Given full trust to run with it, I took it from an early-stage initiative to the second most effective marketing channel.
Campaign Planning Tool
Built a tool from scratch to plan social media campaigns and store openings. The Marketing Team can set budgets and targets for views, engagement, and more, assign influencers and their budgets to individual campaigns, and track success rates live by monitoring incoming content pieces.
