About me

With a rich background in both B2C and B2B marketing, I specialise in orchestrating strategic transformations that drive sustainable growth. My expertise encompasses digital transformation, brand and go-to-market alignment, lead generation, account-based marketing, and crafting superior customer experiences. 

At The Jockey Club, I led a direct-to-consumer expansion by realigning brand architecture and implementing digital transformation initiatives, resulting in revenue growth of over 45% compared to 2019. During my tenure at Goodwood, I delivered both B2C and B2B growth through digital transformation and product repositioning, which doubled online revenue. As Chief Marketing Officer at Sands China, I implemented resort-wide marketing strategies that drove a 30% increase in EBITDA.  

My career spans various ownership structures, from privately held organisations like Goodwood to FTSE 250 companies and start-ups such as Dexam Online and Dabba Drop. This diverse experience has honed my ability to adapt and lead in dynamic environments, consistently delivering impactful marketing solutions.

  • Sports Enthusiast: I literally grew up on a tennis court – and since then have enjoyed everything from tennis, golf, ski, pickle ball, padel tennis and my latest sports passion is picking up the day skipper sailing licence.
