Available to hire
I am a multi-skilled consultant, business owner, non-executive director, content creator and communications expert. I am also a trained journalist and spent over eight years at the BBC as a presenter/reporter.
Beyond consulting, I work with Web3, blockchain, AI and financial services, helping organisations grow their user bases and revenues. I’ve led IP protection efforts, pitched for investment on Dragons’ Den, built education and media training programs (including online and in-person masterclasses for thousands of learners), and coached hundreds of executives in public speaking and storytelling.
