Available to hire
I’m a MA-qualified communications expert with 18 years’ industry experience, driving transformational growth, building brand capital and embedding internal engagement, marketing, social, digital and PR capabilities to support business objectives. I excel at delivering integrated campaigns from concept to completion for trade, consumer and corporate clients, and have led large-scale PR programs for some of the world’s leading brands and organisations.
Relocating from London to Gothenburg with my family, I continue to help organizations manage change, crisis response, reputation and investor relations, while building resilient internal and external comms. I thrive in roles that combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution, delivering brand governance, executive profiling and multi-market marcomms.
