I am a C-suite Commercial Leader with extensive international experience driving major operational and financial transformations and enabling digitally enabled and people-focused strategic change in fast-paced creative agencies. Joining leading advertising agency Ogilvy in 1995, I have ascended through the business into my current role as Global Chief Commercial Officer of Ogilvy Worldwide. During this time, I also spent five years as COO / CFO for Ogilvy UK restructuring the UK organisation in conjunction with my wider CCO position. My earlier career at Ogilvy includes Head of Finance Strategy and Operations for EMEA, six years as Finance Director of Ogilvy One, transforming the enterprise into an award-winning market leader, and periods as WW Commercial Manager and Financial Controller EMEA. Leveraging this multifaceted experience gained as a CCO, COO and CFO and in other diverse UK and global roles working in partnership with major brands and across sectors, I optimise margin growth and head initiatives to strengthen cross-functional performance while embedding enterprise-wide commercial excellence at the heart of everything we do. Having navigated Ogilvy through critical business and operational restructuring, I have consistently demonstrated exceptional negotiation skills, innovated sustainable commercial strategies, and steered $BN P&L decision-making. I also take a prominent position in building collaborative stakeholder relationships and act as a media and industry-facing business representative spanning an international audience. Additionally, with a proven reputation as an authentic and inclusive leader and mentor, I drive behavioural change and develop bespoke service-focused training to build high-performing and engaged teams.
