About

I have spent most of my career at WPP agencies, most recently as CEO of Geometry Korea. I have held end market, regional and global leadership roles. I have also worked at M&C Saatchi, setting up M&C Saatchi ShopEx, the first specialist commerce agency within the group I have lived and worked in 10 countries including 12 years in Asia leading businesses in Malaysia, Hong Kong, Korea and Indonesia. In my time in Asia-Pac I've also led work for China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Singapore, Australia, Thailand, Bangladesh and The Philippines. Specialities include: Strategic Comms planning, digital comms, e-comm, retail and brand activation. As a business leader, I believe in mutual growth for agencies and clients though commerce-based thinking and so am strongly motivated to unlock potential in brands and teams. I also know that omnichannel content should not just deliver conversion but brand equity so am a good fit for the current ethos of how to deliver Brand Experience.
