Available to hire
I have been in digital for the last 24 years, holding roles from head of digital and head of search to freelance consultant. I’ve worked with clients ranging from global multinationals to local businesses, and I enjoy both leading teams to hit targets and rolling up my sleeves to implement strategy. I’m curious and eager to explore emerging technologies and consider how they will shape humanity in the coming years.
I have collaborated closely with WordPress/Drupal developers, paid search consultants, social media campaign/community managers and copywriters/bloggers, which has helped me build progressive, forward-thinking digital strategies.
