Having just landed as Managing Director of ING Media, I'm looking forward to supporting the positive development of the built environment from a new vantage point.I have spent more than 25 years working in business information, predominantly as a journalist and editor, and subsequently as a publisher with commercial responsibility for EG’s media and events business. More recently, as EG's first Director of Market Development, I led on partnerships and on ensuring the business's strategy reflected the priorities of the commercial real estate industry.For more than a decade I have sat on the fundraising committee of LandAid, the property industry charity focused on tackling youth homelessness. I chair the steering group of the Real Estate Data Foundation and am an ambassador for the British Society of Magazine Editors. Outside of work I enjoy listening to music – predominantly on vinyl and live - while my children enjoy my inability to make any sort of rhythmic movement while doing so.
