A Digital Strategist, Data-Driven Storyteller, Air Drummer, Filmmaker
England, UK
a curious senior digital leader with international experience in GLOBAL brands'; on a mission to continuously innovate customer and brand experiences, using data-driven actionable insights.
This is me
Over the past 22 years, I've had the privilege of working with international brands including Honda, Gallagher Insurance, Toyota, and IKEA, managing marketing budgets of up to $6 million. What drives me is creating and implementing digital transformation strategies that genuinely make a difference, whilst leading cross-functional teams across different markets to deliver operational excellence.
​
I'm passionate about the numbers that matter – KPIs and ROI – and I bring a well-rounded perspective from working both agency and brand-side. But beyond the strategies and metrics, what really fascinates me is understanding how people connect and interact in our increasingly digital world, and how brands can show up authentically in that space.
