I have championed a range of award-winning global campaigns across a variety of sectors on subjects from redefining the purpose of the accountancy profession and accelerating net zero to digitisation and supercharging e-mobility. Before my role at Man Bites Dog, I was a Corporate Affairs Director at PwC, responsible for championing the firm’s trust agenda in the wake of the global financial crisis. This led to my involvement in The Business of Trust initiative - a City of London Corporation programme led by the then Lord Mayor of London - as a member of the Trust Advisory Group.In earlier years, I led PwC’s Media Relations and Thought Leadership teams and enjoyed a brief secondment to Demos, one of Britain’s leading cross-party think tanks. Before PwC, I held a European Communications role at Deloitte, prior to which I managed its UK press office. I began my career in Public Affairs at the RSPB, Europe’s largest wildlife conservation charity.I have professional qualifications in research and marketing, in addition to being an RSA Fellow and a member of both the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the Chartered Institute of Public Relations.
