About me
I am passionate about brands. They have fascinated me all my life, how they shape us, our perspectives, our politics, drive loyalty, change behaviour, and influence society writ large.
I'm a brand, advertising & communications leader with 20 years global & domestic experience working in multi-national & innovative creative agencies and more recently in-house in the consumer tech industry driving brand & marketing strategies.
Specialisms include leading integrated, multi-discipline global teams, developing transformative solutions within complex organisations & converting new business opportunities.
