A little about me

Commercial thinking.
Practical experience.

Most businesses don't lack ideas. The challenge is getting marketing, sales, customer data and operational systems working together.

Over more than two decades, my work has spanned marketing strategy, digital growth, ecommerce, CRM optimisation, ERP integration and business transformation.

I bring a commercial perspective alongside hands-on experience with the platforms and processes businesses rely on. That means looking beyond individual channels or software packages to understand how everything fits together — and where improvements will make a genuine difference.

My approach is straightforward: understand the business, identify what is getting in the way, and turn the right ideas into practical action.
