About me
I am an articulate, creative business leader with 22 years' management experience in the UK and around the world. My core expertise is in marketing and brand strategy, marketing communications, and client relationship management, but I also have extensive commercial, business development and general management experience. I've been hired twice by four different employers, and enjoy a reputation for strong leadership, energy, and strategic perception; I’m now looking for a senior leadership role with a dynamic, customer-centric brand organization, progressive creative agency or an incubator / accelerator.
Work history
    Managing Director & Strategist
    Soluble is a consultancy business focusing on working with SME clients to unlock problems related to business, marketing and brand strategy; commercial relationships; and operational effectiveness. I started it because I believe the strategic, commercial and client management experience I've gained from a range of creative businesses at a senior level puts me in a good position to be objective, incisive and direct in helping businesses achieve more. Recent assignments: - Marketing strategy consultancy for a household fmcg brand planning a brand extension - Planning direction for a boutique design and innovation consultancy - Commercial direction / operations for a mobile app start-up
