About me
Heading up talented team from across Latin America, US and Europe creating localised content for top sports teams and leagues. Prior to that worked for agencies in London including AMV BBDO, We Are Social, Octagon, SQN and Carat. I've started two businesses myself, a social video consultancy that worked with the Ladies European Tour, Universal Music, Women's Super League and Soccerex. The second was a b2b publisher as I took a blog (started in 2010) into a full-time business through investment from a larger publisher in 2017. I'm now taking my connections and experience into sports tech companies and also an advisor to sports tech networks and a startup tech company. In my spare time I produce podcasts, something I have done since 2016. Initially the Digital Sports Insider podcast managed over 100k downloads in two years. During lockdown I started a 'Social & Sport' series that interviews leading lights from the sports digital space.
