I’ve been helping leaders to grow their businesses through marketing and communications for more than 20 years.I learned the ropes at two of the best global communications consultancies, Edelman and Hill & Knowlton, supporting international tech brands including HP, LinkedIn, Samsung, Intel and Orange. I then created the marketing functions for parts of the Bertelsmann Group and Lloyds Banking Group. From video games to manufacturing, healthcare to leisure and outsourcing to private equity, the common thread has been to help businesses translate what they do into why it matters; helping leaders identify opportunities and manage risk by better connecting with their audiences. I’ve worked internationally, having lived in the US and Germany, as well as across the UK so I know how to create programmes that work across different locations, time-zones, cultures and languages.I work collaboratively and enjoy leading motivated teams to deliver measurable results. I embrace change, love a challenge and have a real determination to make a difference.
