About

I lead the creative strategy and direction of entertainment and live guest experiences for Merlin Entertainment globally, taking projects from early creative through technical integration and on-site opening. Over the last 10+ years I’ve worked across ops, production, and creative leadership, so I’m comfortable sitting between creatives, technical teams, and site operations to protect creative intent while making sure the thing actually works day after day. What I’m known for: - Turning brand strategy into guest-facing moments at scale, across regions and cultures - Building show programmes that are operationally solid, safe, and repeatable - Leading creative development for large IP-based event campaigns and stage shows - Helping teams deliver under real constraints: schedule, budget, approvals, standards Awards include Gold at The Drum Experience Awards (LEGO Festival) and a THEA recognition for LEGOLAND Shanghai opening.
