After a while she moved on to MediaCom to work for Master Foods, BAT or Nokia. In 1999, she decided to accept the offer to become the leader of the Coca Cola Company advertising team, which she later assumed regionally. She helped found the company Starcom in 2000, the foundation of todays SMG, where she currently acts as a CEO.
