Profile
Ana Paula Mansur

Market intelligence. Strategy.
Applied vision.

Brazilian, with international experience and over a year based in Paris, I work at the intersection of consulting, competitive intelligence and brand strategy across consumer-driven sectors. I currently deliver executive reports for global clients in luxury and beauty, including L'Oréal, Chanel Beauty and Swarovski, focused on positioning, market dynamics and opportunity identification.

An FGV-trained business analyst, I combine structured thinking, a data-driven vision and a consultative approach. I investigate markets, brands and competitors to translate data into clear, actionable recommendations that guide high-level decision-making.

My experience extends across multiple sectors, including retail, technology and fashion. I led a project selected and internationally recognised by the University of St. Gallen, and contributed to consulting work with iFood, Latin America's largest delivery platform. A deliberately multidisciplinary path that broadens my business perspective and keeps me sector-agnostic.

Below is a curated selection of projects from across my journey, bringing together hands-on work in market analysis, strategy and brand-building.
