12+ years across paid search, SEO, paid social, affiliates, CRM and CRO. Nearly five years at Amazon Prime Video leading acquisition and retention across EMEA on an eight-figure budget, spanning 26 countries. Led a global technical SEO programme and significantly reduced paid search CAC through feed quality and campaign structure improvements. Now consulting for founders and scaling brands.

Taken Shopify brands from zero to profitable paid acquisition from day one through high-volume creative testing. Grown organic search to a meaningful share of revenue within months. I can program, I build my own tools, and I use AI to do the work of a team. Best when the brief is "build the growth engine" and nobody's done it yet.
