Monika Smith
I am a medium, thought partner, futurist and management consultant. Having founded Santiago Berlin to give my profession a format, to make it accessible to companies and individual minds alike.
At home in design, tech, media, fashion, culture and retail. I have managed several SME companies, co-founded and established design&lifestyle brands, a brand consultancy, a design studio, and built a European distribution network for design-tech products.
I work with future trends and developments and bring it to the companies and minds of today. With energy, drive, open-heart, sophistication and care. I love to get things done, and really get them done.
“Monika is a rare mix of a person understanding the creative process and the subtle art of building brands, while at the same time possessing the business acumen and understanding of the harsh realities of running a business. Monika is dead honest and is never afraid to speak her mind and also has a lot to add to any discussion on sales and branding. This is something I came to appreciate very much in our cooperation!”
“For the future we need different kinds of thinkers and approaches. Monika is a great inspiration for ideas and people. She is able to challenge them immediately, place them in a bigger picture and further identify the right people whose addition would bring success.
She is very hardworking, well-connected and committed to values and people. She is clearly a role model for future businesses.”
