    Expert in both strategic commercial partnerships and client services, I connect rights holders, brands and agencies to engage audiences and create value for clients across music, entertainment, and sport. If you’re a rights holder with a unique offer looking for new partners, an agency looking for expertise and support or a brand looking to use new experiences to connect with your customers, then I can help. I will get under the skin of your business. I will question your objectives and re-evaluate them. And I will help you to achieve success and deliver growth through effective partnerships. Current projects include project managing the Art of Football, a month-long football festival during the 2018 World Cup, helping the world's largest T20 cricket league develop a commercial partnership strategy and developing growing market share by identifying sales and branding opportunities for a number of craft brewreies.
