Amsterdam, NH, NL

Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands

Part of the leadership team, striving to bring bite to the work and kindness to our people. As an agency that has been sued by the Vatican, taken on toxic masculinity, and championed open minds, 72andSunny Amsterdam has long known how to provoke a reaction. As the ways and places people experience brands become ever more varied, the playgrounds for this.

All The Time Zones

Nothing is more valuable in business than creativity. As part of our Global leadership team, I worked across W+K's network with office leaders and senior clients alike to identify exactly where and how creativity could have the greatest impact on business and behaviour.

London, United Kingdom

Part of the management team responsible for steering the agency into the future and safe-guarding a culture that gave people the liberty and latitude to be themselves, and the space to create the best work of their lives.

Madrid Area, Spain

Before returning to London, I worked as Chief Strategy Officer across Grey Group’s companies in Madrid and Barcelona and operated as a pan-European consultant for Grey Europe. All creativity is destruction, so I jumped at the chance to work in a foreign language - to break myself down and rebuild everything I knew from scratch. Nothing enforces simplicity.

Amsterdam Area, Netherlands

Before my days of sunshine, I was Head of Strategy at 180 Amsterdam, leading the agency alongside the CCO and MD, and creating global platforms for brands such as Benetton, PlayStation, Heineken, UNICEF, ASICS and HP. We rebuilt a cracking creative department, rebooted strategy from the ground up, went on a new business streak and put the lead back in our.

Amsterdam

Rewind again and I was working as Global Planning Director at Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam, guiding brands such as Nike, Coca-Cola, ESPN and EA SPORTS around the world. I was lucky to be there at a golden moment when the agency was the best in the world, a place filled with more nationalities than Eurovision, and where ambition, informality and daily culture.

London, United Kingdom

Before moving to Amsterdam, I began my career in London, where I worked for Miles Calcraft Briginshaw Duffy (later Dare), an agency that was recognised repeatedly as the Effectiveness Agency of the Year and crowned Digital Agency of the Decade. Back in those days, I specialised in behavioural change, working with the UK government and countless social.

After a few years of work experience in agencies, digital start-ups and production studios, I was blooded at Publicis. We helped Thierry Henry and Renault find their Va Va Voom, and taught HP how to wrangle their global markets for the first time. We also ignored a £100k brief for "some tube posters," instead opening a multi-award-winning art gallery on.
