I’m a deeply experienced editorial leader with over 20 years experience launching, building and leading global editorial teams and brands, most recently at executive level overseeing a portfolio of industry-leading digital properties with a monthly reach of over 60M unique users, and a YouTube business of content creators with over 6M subscribers.I’ve managed every part of the editorial process across owned and social platforms, with a focus on audience growth and commercial success without compromising the quality or credibility of editorial output. My daily responsibilities have included editorial strategy, content strategy, talent management, brand development, commercial development and SEO and social strategy. I’ve launched multiple new editorial brands, from writing the business case and budget through to defining the brand, building the team and launching globally. I’m used to managing large, multidisciplinary teams spread across multiple countries, and developing data-lead strategies that support business objectives while remaining true to readers and viewers. I’m a skilled communicator and experienced public speaker, used to presenting to all audiences from the general public through to the C-suite, and I’m passionate about effective communication that can be understood by all audiences. Which means I’m not wild about producing prose like this, honestly, but it’s LinkedIn and you’ve got to write for the audience you want.I like solving new problems, learning new things, and working with different teams across multiple disciplines - particularly web development, design, events and commercial. I’ve worked closely with editorial and commercial partners in the USA, Germany, Spain, Poland and Portugal, and helped to deliver events and commercial solutions in the US, UK and Germany. Key skills: Editorial strategy, event production, editorial analytics, digital content, talent management, project management, brand development, digital development, audience development, product development. Just about every type of development you can do in an editorial organisation, really.
