About me
A creative and strategic thinking Advertising Executive, driven to provide market-leading solutions, with a proven track record of building and scaling innovative creative organizations. I have a natural ability to lead and manage people, with over 20 years experience, ranging from established corporations to start-ups. Passionate about creativity and seeing impact, I started my career pioneering early-stage mobile companies and continued to expand the scope and impact of my role at agencies, where I delivered a number of award-winning campaigns. I was approached by my current employer for my visionary outlook on mobile. I have pioneered new creative paradigms such as Playables and Augmented Reality, driving significant commercial outcomes as a result. I have built and grown the early stage team of 4 to a global group of 60 at our company's billion dollar scale, encompassing multiple functions of creative design, technical development, analytics and operations.
I’ve played a leading role in driving multiple acquisitions and I’ve guided global branding programs, all to expand upon our reputation for creative differentiation.
Previously part of the Mobile Marketing Association UK Council, I have an extensive network across US, EMEA and APAC.
