Self-diagnosis
You might need a digitalholic if…
Digital revenue grows. Margin doesn't.
Your CRM holds millions of customers and no plan for them.
A replatforming is late, and nobody owns it.
Agency fees rise every year. Results don't.
Marketplaces are someone's side project.
The CDO seat has been empty for months.
Two or more sound familiar?
One or two: a digital audit shows where value is leaking and what to fix first. Three or more: you need senior ownership, not another agency.

Hi, I'm Irina, and I'm a digitalholic.
Tell me what's stuck. I reply personally, with an honest view on whether I can help and the fastest way to start.
About
Passionate about strategy, driven by growth.
I grew up in fashion eCommerce. At PVH, Suitsupply and BESTSELLER I learned growth one search term, one campaign and one budget line at a time, rising from Jr. SEO Specialist to running performance across 17 brands.
Then I went wide. As a fractional leader I moved across e-bikes, sportswear, hearing protection and humanitarian work, as strategist, interim CDO and hands-on fixer. At PUMA it all came together: owning a global Digital Hub and one agenda for 45+ markets.
The way I lead hasn't changed: deep in the numbers, quick to decide, built on trust. I want teams safe enough to challenge me and stretched enough to surprise themselves. INSEAD-trained, Romanian-born, Amsterdam-based.
