About me

As Regional Director for London, I support business leaders by identifying their growth opportunities and aligning them with expert fractional marketing directors. My 30+ years of experience in leading marketing led organisations has equipped me to guide businesses through strategic growth and transformation. 

At Perrier and RHM Foods, I learnt how brands & a clearly differentiated strategy can underpin enterprise value. As Managing Director of an international coffee company, I achieved double-digit revenue growth over 10 years, through developing brand portfolios across international markets (including Russia & Europe). In the digital entertainment sector, as Managing Director EMEA, we achieved a global market leading position through consumer insight & KPI driven performance marketing, leading to a successful business sale. My passion lies in supporting businesses with a cohesive growth strategy, underpinned by impactful marketing solutions that drive measurable outcomes.
