Cecilia D is a strategic product and audience consultant with nine years of experience helping C-suite leaders in media, energy, and nonprofit sectors translate customer insight into measurable growth. She combines systems thinking and a forensic, Occam’s-razor approach to untangle high-stakes problems—scaling teams, workflows and KPIs to drive product launches, subscription growth and platform redesigns. Her work spans building CX and UX teams from scratch, operationalizing first-party data and creating dashboards and planning frameworks that shift organizational decision-making. Notable outcomes include major increases in organic subscriptions and social reach, and de-risking a platform redesign that became a £500M SaaS spinout. A former science teacher with MA-level journalism training, she brings a research-led mindset and clear communication style to cross-functional transformation. Learning Python and Java on GitHub, she pairs strategic senior leadership with hands-on technical curiosity.
