Strategic Leadership & Communication

For more than twenty years I’ve worked where content, technology, and transformation meet — from Microsoft and WPP to PwC and EY — helping global teams turn strategy into stories people can understand and act on.

I started out as a journalist and editor, learning how to make complex ideas clear and compelling. Since then, I’ve led international strategy, creative, and production teams across B2B and B2C markets, advising clients from the Fortune 500 to start-ups on how to connect what they do with what their audiences need.

Today I focus on helping organisations find clarity, coherence, and confidence in how they communicate – inside and out. Amid constant disruption, my aim is simple: to connect people to purpose, and branding to business objectives – so that communication becomes a genuine driver of progress.

What’s always driven me is the desire to understand different perspectives and how to create shared understandings to make things work better. Whether in political, content, marketing, or business strategy, I look for the gaps between what’s said and what’s heard, helping colleagues, clients, and audiences bridge them with clearer thinking, stronger stories, and smarter systems.
