About

I create regional and global media strategies which grow brands by seamlessly connecting them with consumers and culture, so these brands move out of their category siloes and into real growth. I've applied my personal approach of 'rigour + imagination' to develop world-first ideas in digital innovation, content and paid media for brands as varied as Moet & Chandon brands, Unilever, Star Alliance, Alfa Romeo / FIAT, Coca-Cola, Heineken, UBS Bank, Johnson & Johnson and Activision / Blizzard. Through my Master’s Degree in Marketing & Advertising and my extensive regional & global experience, I navigate cultural differences & influence in matrix structures up to C-Suite. I thrive in a dynamic culture where my passion & experience help company culture thrive. I have several passions: I run (a lot), I have a rescue puppy, I love adventure travel photography and I'm about to start WSET Level 3.
