CORE SKILLS &
EXPERIENCE
.

Having worked for 20+ years (both internally and externally) for some of the world’s biggest and best-loved brands and NGOs I have (much like a strategic Liam Neeson but less problematic) developed a unique set of skills.

They’re not much use (to date) in a kidnap-style situation, but fortunately, they are very good (and complimentary) in a “we have a marketing, branding, product, or organisational opportunity” style situation.

Which is probably more useful to you if you’re here.

Put even more simply, I’m a better marketeer because I worked in product. I run better workshops and build clearer decks because I sat on a senior leadership team. I carry out better research because I started my brand comms career as a creative. Generalists are cool. We’ve seen things.
