BUILDING THE FUTURE
OF BRANDS

With a career journey spanning three decades and multiple sectors, I have delivered successful transformation programs for a number of brands.

​

I have experience of multi-nationals (Navico, Electrolux, Newell Brands, Coty, Unilever), start-ups and growth-stage companies (e.g. optical, social enterprise, luxury goods, food), and the charity sector (Ramblers) - so I understand a range of business cultures, their dynamics, and the different challenges they can present.

I love brands with untold stories and the untapped potential for truly immersive customer experiences.

 

I enjoy working with entrepreneurial, agile leadership teams, and relish the challenge of helping brands and companies keen to lift their game!
