About
I cut my teeth as an Executive Creative Director for Leo Burnett, JWT, R/GA, and Tennis Australia in New York, Sydney, and Melbourne. This experience equipped me with invaluable skills in strategic brand direction, digital design, and product/service design. Over time, my fascination with business operations led me to pursue an eMBA and co-found two companies.
One of these ventures is Ne-Lo, a Marketing Transformation Consultancy named after my wonderfully cheeky daughter and my co-founder’s equally cheeky daughter (Neve and Lottie). Ne-Lo uniquely combines strategy, creativity, design, executive coaching, and behavioural economics to facilitate marketing transformation.
My professional goal is to create a universally accepted model of marketing to help businesses develop a healthy relationship with their marketing. I am the co-creator of TheAnatomyofMarketing.org, and as part of this work, I have interviewed over 250 executives from around the world and authored several marketing and strategic workbooks. I am also the co-author of the upcoming book “How to Avoid Random Acts of Marketing,” set for release in early 2025.
I have been a guest lecturer at several institutions, including the University of Sydney Business School, Berlin School of Creative Leadership, and soon at the Marketing Academy.
I have been globally recognized, receiving multiple Grand Prix awards for Creativity and Strategic Effectiveness. As a creative, I was listed as the World’s No.1 Art Director at the Cannes Festival of Creativity.
To steal a quote: “The more you know, the more you know you don’t know.” I bloody love learning new things and actively seek environments where I’m not the smartest person in the room—something that’s often not hard to find when you work with the right clients.
Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss all things marketing, are looking for a brand and marketing partner, or want to learn more about Ne-Lo or The Anatomy of Marketing.

Should Boards and/or the C-Suite have a say in Creativity? Or should they leave it to the CMO? Keep it constructive but where do you draw the line?
