Building stories of amazing teams and brand futures

I am an inspirational C-suite level Director with 25+ years experience of being able to cut through complexity to identify clear business issues to then build creative, yet pragmatic plans which address them.
I have delivered consumer engaging marketing plans across several of the UKs biggest brands – Airwick, Vanish, Mr Kipling, Celebrations, O2, Hovis, Walkers, Sensations and Doritos… and helped a few smaller ones get started too.
My IKAGAI ( reason for being) is 'nurturing and growing things' - that applies to my family, pets, plants (and those who know me will also know it means dough and sponges as I am an avid baker) but it also applies to companies, brands and people - I know I am good at it, I love it, the world definitely needs more nurturing and hopefully it can pay me to live.
Being a dab hand at balancing the WHAT and the HOW I have delivered ambitious and innovative strategies to drive business growth, whilst leading change and developing teams to their full potential.
I get a lot of energy from working with others to grow their business, brands and people
