Summary

With over twenty years working in marketing roles, I bring experience developing go to market strategies, solid project management skills, a deep understanding of client segmentation and leveraging Mar Tech solutions to drive client value and business growth.

My strength lies in my ability to collaborate effectively with senior business stakeholders and external partners; explore and uncover data insights to consider the full client experience across all touch points of their journey and interactions with the brand.

I'm a passionate problem solver and adopt a considered strategic and analytical approach to help influence and achieve outcomes. I enjoy the journey and being curious along the way – show the data and I’ll tell you the story.
