Chiara Di Leva

Approach.

I’m curious, social, and enjoy getting up to speed quickly on new topics. With a background in psychology, I’m interested in understanding why people and organisations behave the way they do. At the same time, I like to get things moving: researching, comparing, organising and turning ideas into something concrete.

History.

I study Psychology & Business & Leadership at Forward College and the University of London, and have lived and studied in Lisbon, Paris and Berlin during my degree. Alongside my studies, I gained experience in commercial strategy, research and product development.

At Vandemoortele, I worked within the international sales team on, among other things, commercial analyses and a Power BI dashboard covering several European markets. I have also worked on projects at the intersection of technology, data and human behaviour, including a Data4Good/OpenSanctions project and an innovation project in digital health.

I currently work at Het Strategiekantoor and Blanco, where I contribute to strategy, business development, marketing and research.

Focus.

As I’m still at the beginning of my career, my interests are deliberately broad. I enjoy contributing to new ideas and then figuring out how to turn them into practice.

At Het Strategiekantoor, I work across research, marketing and business development, including market analyses, lead generation, content, events and new initiatives. I’m particularly interested in the combination of analytical research, commercial thinking and creative execution.

Free time.

Outside work and university, I enjoy fashion and design, travelling and photography. I also love discovering new places, cooking and spending time with friends and family.
