About me
I am an entrepreneur with a proven track record of building successful creative businesses, most recently in the field of online video.
As a creative thinker - both artistically and commercially - I'm at my happiest when I can mix creativity with digital strategy and business success.
I have a keen interest in the future of media, and am always looking for new opportunities to build and grow content across emerging platforms.
I enjoy bringing people together and bridging the worlds of 'old media' and 'new media' to create new and valuable opportunities.
I'm intensely competitive and results-driven, but my passion for accomplishment is counterbalanced by an equal drive to do things right, as well as quick.
