I'm excited by:

• Thinking up new (and old!) ways to use communications to support business growth, market entry, or corporate realignment.

• Telling your story - whether you are an individual, a charity, or a business.

• Audience engagement and building conversations, around politics or a product.

• Working with innovators from around the world to challenge the way we do things.

My areas of expertise include building strategic communications plans and activities to support business growth, market entry, or corporate realignment. 
I'm energised by dreaming up ideas and leading brainstorming activities to redefine product propositions or business goals.
And I have more than a decade of experience in delivering programmes for large-scale conferences and summits on development and investment, especially in the developing world.
