PROFILE
I am a strategically focused creative leader who brings a diverse range of experiences and strengths. Working both at agencies and in-house I’ve helped young and established brands define themselves and tell their story in a way that matters. My purpose is always to generate business results and I have always believed that is done with strong brands, positioned effectively. How we do that has evolved greatly over my career and that continues with AI. I am loving the possibilities and worlds AI opens up and its ability to help me do what it can’t.
