AKBI Collaboration provides consulting and advisory services to companies, trade associations, and private individuals. While we are not limited to any specific sector or value chain, our recent focus has been on the fragrance industry. In the past, we’ve also worked extensively across the chemical, agricultural, and beauty value chains.
As a small yet global management consultancy, AKBI is hands-on in supporting business development strategies and expanding client impact across business, government, and stakeholder networks. We specialize in sustainable business strategy, governance, and stakeholder engagement, from stakeholder mapping through to full strategy development and implementation.
Virtual and in-person collaboration is a core strength. We can also leverage AI-driven tools to enhance decision-making and facilitate inclusive, effective engagement. AKBI can serve as a platform where stakeholders come together to address specific issues and co-create viable business solutions with a sustainability mindset, while navigating local regulatory and policy landscapes with confidence.
As the Managing Director of AKBI Virtual Collaboration, I bring a unique combination of thought leadership and industry expertise to help businesses and trade associations navigate complex market and policy environments and expand globally. With extensive international experience in business, strategy, and stakeholder development, I support clients in achieving lasting success across cultures and global markets.
By leveraging my global network of industry leaders, policymakers, and scientists, I provide clients with valuable connectivity to key decision-makers and stakeholders.
Prior to AKBI, I served as President of the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) for over eight years, where I played a pivotal role in shaping global industry standards and strengthening collaboration across the fragrance and consumer goods sectors. My earlier experience in multinational corporations further enhanced my expertise in regulatory affairs, market entry strategies, and the intersection of business, government, and sustainability.
At AKBI, I integrate this deep experience with a variety of tools to co-create tailored, actionable strategies with our clients. My passion lies in fostering innovative collaboration and delivering meaningful, results-driven solutions—ensuring our clients not only thrive in a changing world but also make a positive lasting impact.
