About

Doing business in Bermuda is all about building and nurturing relationships. Companies operating here need people with a deep understanding of the local market and the ability to cultivate long-term connections. As a native Bermudian and a natural networker, I am deeply embedded in the community. My relationships have enabled me to help companies identify trends, build pipelines, and develop essential networks that drive business growth.

In my role as Director of Corporate Affairs for Bacardi Limited, I leverage my extensive network to connect companies with key stakeholders and decision-makers. I am also the founder of NAB, a social media platform that advocates for local shopping and connects consumers with desired items, and Isabella Artuso, a fashion brand known for unique handmade headbands. My experience spans building communities, creating engagement, and developing powerful networks that deliver value.

To excel in these roles, I rely on strong networking, relationship building, communication, creativity, innovation, strategic thinking, organization, and confidence.

My mission is to elevate brands and inspire communities through meaningful connections, strategic initiatives, and impactful storytelling. By fostering relationships and advocating for local businesses, I aim to contribute to Bermuda’s economic and social growth.

Let's connect and explore how we can drive growth and make a positive impact together.
