About

Working in the UAE and wider MENA region to help Wales-based companies export to the GCC and the region. Also encouraging investment from the region back in to Wales. Welsh companies have a lot to offer; innovation, agility, quality and heritage. I've worked for a number of years (too many to mention!) in the UK Civil Service; including 14 years in the Gulf, and 10 years in trade and investment. I'm passionate about showcasing Wales and the UK from business to culture and everything in between!
