§ Marketing & Strategy Advisory Consumer & B2B — Global

A visionary marketing leader for brands intent on defining what's next.

Two decades shaping growth for the world's biggest consumer and B2B brands - and launching founder-led products from zero. I help boards and leadership teams see the next move before it becomes the obvious one, then build the strategy to own it.

01 — How I work

Senior judgement, driving the change you need.

Three ways to work together.

A / Board & NED

Advisory at the table

A marketing and brand mind in the room where direction is set — pressure-testing growth strategy and go-to-market, in consumer and B2B alike, against where the category is actually heading.

B / Fractional

Leadership on demand

Interim CMO or Marketing Director capacity for businesses in a step-change moment — scaling, repositioning, or holding senior ground in transition.

C / Consulting

Frameworks, not just decks

Defined projects at the edge of the discipline: AI-enabled marketing, B2B demand generation, social & commerce, and operating models built to outlast the engagement.

02 — Selected work

A record measured in outcomes, not vanity titles.

A sample of mandates across consumer and B2B, at every scale.

01
Rebuilt a global technology brand's consumer marketing strategy, delivering a 20% sales increase on an eight-figure budget.
02
Directed search & social across 20+ international markets from group level; a new inbound strategy lifted organic traffic 50%.
03
Built B2B demand-generation and partnership programmes that turned marketing into a measurable revenue line.
04
Led EMEA social-platform strategy and the relationships with Meta, TikTok, YouTube & X across a matrix business.
05
Shaped a global FMCG group's move into social commerce, owning the innovation roadmap across key territories.
06
Launched award-winning social presences and globally-scaled viral formats for a major TV global network — £1m in new revenue.
07
Acted as launch CMO for founder-led products from zero, including a tech-for-good app and a purpose campaign with world-class partners.
The thesis

Most brands don't need more marketing. They need someone who sees the audience — and the opportunity — everyone else has missed.

— Operating principle
03 — Operating range

At home in the boardroom and operational.

The instinct that works for a global giant and the one that works for a founder are rarely the same person. Here they are.

Global enterprise

Multi-market, multi-million-pound mandates inside some of the largest consumer and B2B businesses on earth.

Early-stage & founder

Zero-to-one launches where strategy, brand and the first customers all have to be invented at once.

The fundamentals travel — consumer or B2B, global scale or first hire. Startups get a partner who has operated at the top without the enterprise price tag or pace; enterprises get someone who still thinks like a founder. That combination is the point.

04 — Perspective

Why the foresight tends to be right.

Vision only counts when it's grounded. Four things it's grounded in.

Early

On AI before the agenda

Building AI-enabled marketing frameworks as a working consultant well before it reached the board — recognised by The Drum as one of the most influential figures in social media.

Original

First-of-kind, not follow-the-leader

A body of work defined by launches and formats that didn't exist yet — across consumer and B2B — rather than optimising someone else's playbook.

Plural

Audiences others read wrong

From a minority background, I read markets and communities that get flattened into a single template. That perspective is a commercial edge — it finds growth where others see noise.

Invested

Building the next bench

A DEI champion and mentor with BT, developing the next generation of diverse leadership — because the best foresight comes from the widest set of eyes in the room.

05 — Enquire

Let's talk about what's next.

Selective board, fractional and advisory engagements. If there's a fit, get in touch.
