For more than 30 years I've helped organisations build stronger brands, create meaningful customer experiences and adapt to changing markets.
I've led creative and strategic work for global brands including Samsung, Google, Sony, JPMorgan and many others, delivering award-winning campaigns, digital experiences and innovation programmes.
Today my focus is helping organisations navigate three critical challenges:
• Brand transformation
• Innovation and growth
• AI-enabled change
As a fractional creative leader and strategic advisor, I work with founders, leadership teams and organisations that need senior-level thinking without the cost of a full-time executive hire.
My work combines:
Brand strategy
Creative leadership
Innovation facilitation
Customer experience thinking
AI and emerging technology
Team mentoring and capability development
