About

I love the problem-solving, strategy, and general puzzle-like nature of Ecommerce with experience and desire to devise and implement on-site strategies to improve the performance of the Ecommerce store, including Search Engine Optimisation (SEO), Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO), Average Order Value (AOV), and Life Time Value (LTV). With over a decade of hands-on experience in digital commerce, I help brands grow, scale, and streamline their online operations. I’ve worked across a wide range of categories—from FMCG and premium food & drink to luxury lifestyle products—partnering with household names in the UK, USA, and Australia. Proficient across leading CMS platforms including Magento, Shopify, BigCommerce, and WooCommerce, I’ve successfully delivered end-to-end eCommerce projects in both B2C and D2C environments. My expertise spans website development project management, sales strategy and growth, email marketing, customer retention, loyalty programmes, P&L accountability, and operational development. Based in the Manchester, Lancashire, Yorkshire and North West region, I’m passionate about building customer-first digital experiences that drive measurable results. Let’s connect if you’re looking for someone who blends commercial acumen with hands-on digital execution.
