Growth marketer and 2x entrepreneur, both companies started, scaled then successfully sold. Named in Management Today's list of 35 women under 35. I have worked in digital and mobile marketing for the duration of my career gaining a breadth of experience from the boot-strap start-up world through to established FTSE250 companies. I sold my proximity marketing platform TagPoints to SmartFocus and gaining the position of CMO of the acquiring company in the process. In 2016 I started working with TrustedHousesitters, the largest house and pet sitting marketplace in the world, and accelerated its global growth taking it from start-up to scale up and securing investment in October 2018. In 2023 TrustedHousesitters was valued at $100m at which point I cashed out. My most recent role is at Bird & Blend Tea. My role is to help scale the already thriving business into new pastures. I am unashamedly enthusiastic about data and the difference smart analysis can make to a business. Recent work:

Chief Marketing OfficerKit & Kin Sep 2019 - Aug 2023London, GbKit & Kin, the award winning family brand dedicated to creating the world’s most eco-friendly products. Founded by Emma Bunton of Spice Girls fame and entrepreneur Christopher Money, Kit & Kin came about because the nappy and wipe industry was not keeping up with new parents who wanted to be more environmentally conscious in their choices. Kit & Kin solved this problem by making nappies from plant-based materials that are better for baby and sustainably sourced, so better for the world. They achieve these eco-credentials while not compromising on style, winning a tonne of awards for design. Giving back has been at the heart of Kit & Kin since launch - for every 10 babies wearing Kit & Kin nappies, one acre of rainforest is planted through the World Land Trust, David Attenborough’s preferred charity.Selling in Boots, Ocado, Tesco and Kit & Kin ecommerce sites, the company is going from strength to strength. -
