About me
As an executive and marketing strategist in the insight and technology sectors, I have significant hands-on experience in growing profitable businesses, crafting exceptional cross-functional teams and developing highly effective marketing strategies. My successful track record has driven accelerated customer acquisition, helped create nationally recognised communication campaigns and been key to customer-centric innovations. Recently, I have acted in advisory capacities to firms seeking to align people, product and systems to create breakthrough growth in highly competitive industries. Throughout my time as I marketer, I have retained my digital background and classical marketing education, but complemented this with deep experience in communications planning, brand management, go-to market strategy development and tactical execution. Over the past five years, I have been fortunate enough to help agencies, non-profits, local government organisations and private firms in the finance, technology and research spaces. Today, I am proud to be a part of the FlexMR leadership team, guiding the agency's international presence from strength to strength.
