Key Achievements: Stakeholder Mapping: Mapped 3,500+ stakeholders across both ecosystems, facilitating connections that drive collaborative value creation for users.

Through Tocaro Consulting, I bring a holistic approach that combines market insights, data-driven strategy, and hands-on product development to help early-stage ventures achieve sustainable success.
