About

I have spent 30 years in media and doing a few other bits and pieces. Initially I started out by building a TV distribution company from a barn, then founded The Extreme Sports Channel in my mid twenties. Found some fantastic people to back us, raised significant capital, launched across 68 countries & built the channel into a global brand reaching 100 million subscribers before successfully exiting to Liberty Media. Since then, my focus has been on where audiences have moved to: social platforms, creators, communities and live experiences and working with brands, agencies, creators, publishers, destinations and rights holders who understand that the media landscape has changed. Today alongside an incredible team I am building ๐–๐š๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ๐ž๐ง๐ ๐ญ๐ก ๐š ๐’๐จ๐œ๐ข๐š๐ฅ ๐Œ๐ž๐๐ข๐š ๐…๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐‚๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐š๐ง๐ฒ operating at the heart of the creator economy.
