Work with me
i'm always happy to explore how I can best make an impact
Let's do this
Whether you need a trusted advisor, a catalyst for your team, or an outside voice to challenge your thinking - there are a few ways we can work together.
For teams who need alignment, energy and a shared sense of purpose.
I design and facilitate high-impact offsites that create space for real conversation and progress.
These 1–2 day sessions help teams reset, reconnect and refocus - combining structured strategy work with creativity, collaboration and clarity (and a bit of fun too!)
Every offsite is custom-built around your goals, so you and your team leave with energy and actionable outcomes.
For leadership teams who want clarity and confidence in their next move.
I work directly with founders, CEOs, CMOs and CPOs to define strategy, sharpen positioning, and align teams around a shared vision. I also support them to get there.
Typical engagements run 3–12 months and may include research, workshops, brand or culture strategy, planning and ongoing advisory support to leadership.
Think of me as a fractional Chief Brand Officer - a thought partner helping you connect brand, business and culture.
Modes of working
For agencies and consultancies who want to elevate their strategic firepower.
I partner with creative, brand, marketing and communications agencies as an embedded strategist or external partner.
From shaping client workshops to building brand frameworks, I help teams add strategic depth and deliver greater impact.
Agency support
For events and teams that need to be inspired and equipped.
From keynote talks to hands-on training sessions, I share practical tools and stories that help people think differently about brand, business development, leadership and change.
I’ve spoken to audiences around the world - from large business events to creative agencies to boardrooms - helping leaders bring their brands to life from the inside out.
