In recent years, I've been published by Aurum Press, Saqi Books, and Bertelsmann. My books have been reviewed on global media channels and in national newspapers. Two of my books have been co-authored biographies.Together with Nigel Hetherington, founder of the casting agency Past Preservers, we have set up Fabula TV, a creative hub developing documentary concepts for TV networks, production companies, and distributors. We originate ideas, script them, source talent, and build teams for success. Our network of partners extends from Los Angeles and New York to the Middle East and India.My career over three decades has encompassed print, TV, and online journalism. I'm an ex-BBC news producer and Sky News reporter. And I've been part of the launch team in several media start-ups. I've run newsrooms managing teams of journalists.After leaving full-time journalism, I worked in corporate public relations and investor relations. Then spent over ten years immersed in strategic communications for government clients devising and implementing programs in the UK, Europe, United States, Balkans, central Asia, and Africa.

  • Breakthrough Media
    P/Cve Consultant To Uk Government
    Breakthrough Media Jul 2013 - Apr 2019
    London, United Kingdom
    Through Breakthrough Media, I was part of a groundbreaking partnership between government, the private sector and civil society to develop strategic communications programs around countering the threat of terrorism and violent extremism in the 2010s. Primarily, this was the threat posed by ISIS and its recruitment of young people in the UK getting them to travel illegally to Iraq and Syria. Later, the challenge posed by the extreme Right became increasingly important.My role was to work with teams of civil servants, private sector consultants and civil society partners to develop communications strategies to intervene between online and offline terrorist recruitment activity and the individuals at risk of being radicalised.My role at the outset was to identity civil society partners and other actors we could trust to safeguard young people and build resilience in communities. This involved working on the ground in challenging areas as well as having a deep understanding of the ideologies and mindsets of all those involved.During this time, I co-authored a book on non-violent Islamist extremism in the UK titled 'The Battle for British Islam'.Most of this activity with Breakthrough came under a UK Home Office contract under the Office for Security and Counter-Terrorism which has since been rebranded as Homeland Security.
