About me
I am a branding and communications professional with over 10 years of experience, including several years of management experience at Director level, overseeing delivery for entire agency portfolios, and responsible for establishing and implementing company-wide processes and protocols and leading and nurturing project teams. This is underpinned by a practical background in project planning, management and delivery – the bulk of which is in brand development and brand communications, though I also have several years of hands-on experience in ad campaign development and deployment. I am friendly, hard working, direct but diplomatic, with an obsession for detail and a pretty good sense of humour for an American.
