  • The Short Story

Welcome.

I am an extremely experienced creative leader.

I've won global pitches, handled the creative output of companies of over two hundred people, mentored, grown and inspired creative departments, produced work on five continents, and loved (almost) every second of it.

I specialize in efficiency, working closely with my producers and creatives to make work that always hits budgets and timing plans to maximum effect. No one is faster, or more business-aware. Every dollar/pound/euro/rand/bitcoin goes on the screen in the most exciting way possible. Nothing matters if it doesn't get made. I get work made, seen and felt by audiences all over the world, wherever they are looking.

ATL, social, experiential - everything.

I love galvanizing teams and bringing them together in dynamic, positive ways - empowering them to believe in their talent and enabling them to realise their full ambitions. 

I have been lucky enough to work for some of the very best agencies in the world at the time they were at the peak of their power.
