CMO | Brand Strategist I build brands that people actually care about through real stories that connect.Right now, I’m scaling SupaHuman AI across Australia and New Zealand’s vocational education sector. My job is to shape how we show up in the world, turn that into demand that Sales and Product can work with, and make sure our brand feels distinctly us at every touchpoint. I’ve spent 12+ years in marketing, but the last 5 in tech have been the most interesting - launching into new markets, building communities from zero, and figuring out how to make AI feel human. I’m big on systems that work (CRM, analytics, automation) but even bigger on creativity and storytelling that cuts through the noise. I value clarity over complexity, long-term wins and teams that ask good questions.
