Working with some of the world's most renowned brands has given me an instinct for what makes a proposition compelling and drives commercial value.

Putting Experience into Perspective

 

A career spanning luxury goods and premium brands — from The Lanesborough and Christie's to DuPont, Hilton and the Chanel Group — led me to Diageo, where I shaped the global communications strategy for one of the world's most celebrated luxury spirits portfolios.

Working at the intersection of culture, marketing and brand, I created campaigns that could begin at grassroots and galvanise communities to create movements around the world, strengthening brand equity at scale.
