Background…
Hi there. I’m an accomplished strategist with over fifteen years’ experience of leading the strategic marketing and communications output for high-profile global businesses and organisations.
From redesigning international marketing strategies to providing strategic briefing and counsel to embed change and transformation and long-term planning of reputational risk management, my work has been fundamental in setting new strategic direction and business vision – advising C-suite and board-level executives.
My expertise is informed through long-term client engagements delivering high impact work – from energy to logistics; aviation to HNWI; counter-extremism to humanitarian aid.
I’m entrepreneurially spirited and commercially minded shaping and supporting delivery of international projects to drive growth or achieve strategic outcomes across private and public sectors.
More about me:
My PhD explored digital communications and soft power and was researched at the New Political Communication Unit, Royal Holloway, University of London. You can see a full list of the papers and books I’ve published over at my Publications page.
I’ve lectured in brand, marketing and communications strategy – particularly focusing on digital transformation – at universities in the UK, Europe and US. I’ve also presented to professional bodies and government departments – from the Chartered Institute of Securities and Investment to NATO and the UK Foreign Office.I’ve delivered guest talks to the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office and NATO’s Strategic Communications Centre of Excellence.
I am an advisory board member at DigVentures, the world’s first crowd-funded, archaeology organisation and a member of The Future Foundation, a think-tank providing fresh ideas and a new impetus for public policy in the Isle of Man.
