About
Anything to do with shaking up tired old ways of doing things, I’m in. Think digital transformation, blockchain, AI, or a mission to colonise Mars. I find the brilliance behind an idea, put it into words and tell compelling stories that inspire people to take action.
I particularly love projects where I get to build something from scratch, whether it's people, process or product. That's why I've spent the last 10+ years working with product innovators, entrepreneurs and sales leaders to bring ideas to life - from digital transformation to ecommerce, directory, marketplace, SaaS and publishing.
Unlike most marketers who take the traditional path of vertical career progression, I took a different route early in my career. Call it an early mid-life crisis, but I quit the career ladder when I realised climbing it in stilettos was not only impractical, it was ridiculous. So I grabbed my flats and hit the road, choosing interesting, challenging, and often, scary projects over titles and job security. Because it's the #futureofwork, and why the hell not?
Since then, my career zigzaggged into a series of fist-pumping moments, taking to market ideas and products I wished I'd thought of myself. I got to hang with brilliant people whose courage, energy and drive always leave me in awe. They're big thinkers, risk takers and trailblazers, the kind who'd ask "why the hell not?".
I've managed budgets from $10K to over $2M a year, built teams from scratch, developed people, fired people (not enjoyable) and been accountable for revenues. But one thing's for sure, I'm comfortable with change. No matter how scary, hard or a little crazy, I show up.
Always open to ideas and conversations over coffee. Message me.
