(01) In short
Twelve years at the leading edge of digital and integrated advertising. Partner at Capita Consulting. And a consultancy of my own since 2018.
What makes the combination rare is not any single thing on that list. It is all of them together: the craft behind a Cannes Lions, the commercial rigour of a consulting partner, and the founder instinct of someone who has built from nothing and knows what it costs.
