A charismatic and globally connected sales and marketing leader with a rich history of building an array of creative and media solutions for brands, agencies and tech start ups. Extensive global advertising agency experience. Have also been client side as a CMO. I am widely traveled, well networked and multi lingual. I have worked in senior revenue generating roles at leading agencies McCann, Ogilvy, Saatchi, Grey and global eCommerce agency Born. In addition I founded and sold my own agency.

In addition to traditional brand building capabilities I have extensive expertise across CRM, outsourcing, e-commerce, shopper, social, data, AI and SaaS solutions in the retail, media and CPG verticals. With a keen eye on the bottom line I enjoy working with start-ups and growth companies by leveraging technology to shape brand messaging and effect consumer behavior while delivering improved results. I am always learning and looking for new challenges and opportunities to make an impact. I love the chase of new business with all of it's moving parts.
