About me

I thrive on helping businesses unlock growth potential through clear and actionable strategies. At Fiskars, I led the brand re-positioning to become a market leader, delivering a 20% increase in market share and launching the first UK TV campaign, which achieved a strong ROI while strengthening partnerships with B&Q and Homebase. 

As Group Marketing Director at Essilor, I aligned marketing plans across a £200m group of 11 businesses, driving a £15m uplift in annual revenue through cohesive strategic execution. With Business Wales Accelerated Growth Programme, I’ve coached numerous SMEs to achieve double-digit growth by targeting the right audiences with focused marketing efforts.
