About

An experienced and strategic leader of in-house marketing, brand, design, communications, and creative agency functions in the enterprise.

I've helped teams around the world at ION, Project Team Support, KPMG, Goldman Sachs, Acrolinx, and more to grow and flourish. A strategic leader of Communications Agency teams made up of brand and design, community, content and media, digital marketing and social media, events, video and animation, and web and application functions.

I am honoured and excited to be a part of the Forbes Communications Council. I am looking forward to connecting and collaborating with other respected leaders to learn, share my expertise, and have an even greater impact in my work.

Over the course of my career, and in recent years, I've delivered strategic projects that pioneer innovative technology platforms and different ways of working within the business. While the focus of these projects varies, the intent is the same - to solve business problems through design and technology.

In January 2022 I was accepted accepted into the Forbes Communications Council, an invitation-only community for executives in communications, marketing, and public relations.

Hire bigger and better

I've always tried to deliver on this quote from an advertising legend.

“If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants.”

Building great teams

I build great teams and enable them to deliver their best work and best-in-class services in line with strategic directions and business priorities.

To build a great team, I work with my team leaders and team members to support and enable them to become great, and by hiring great people.

Resume

The most current and business-focused reference is my LinkedIn profile. This resource will give you an introduction to my experience and access to the recommendations I've received.

As a Gen X’er, I believe in supporting and enabling the generations that come after me. You can see some of this in my breadcrumbs. You can also learn about some of my projects.

Next steps

I have lived and worked in Australia, Ireland, Germany, and the United Kingdom. At present, I am based in London, UK and am happy to discuss the value that I add in greater detail. Just reach out via a LinkedIn message.
