Former Chief Communications Officer, McCann Worldgroup — one of the world's most recognised creative networks. Twenty years advising complex organisations across creative, consulting and emerging technology, 30+ markets and two M&A processes.
Working in San Francisco, New York and London across industries such as publishing, global creative advertising, management consultancy and award-winning biotech, has given me a breadth of perspective that has been invaluable in communications. I am equally at home with scientists, global CEOs, engineers, creatives, strategists and growth leaders. A diversity which has informed my audience-first focus.
For the past two decades I have advised ambitious organisations on how they are perceived, across creative, consulting and emerging technology sectors, 30+ markets and two M&A processes.
At McCann Worldgroup, as Chief Communications Officer for UK & Europe and Acting Global, I led the communications strategy for one of the world's most recognised advertising networks.
Shaping its external narrative, managing reputational risk and providing senior counsel through some of the organisation's most sensitive moments.
This work, in partnership with incredibly talented colleagues, contributed to a decade of recognition, Cannes Lions Titanium and Grand Prix, Effie Europe Agency Network of the Year, Campaign Best Creative Network in Europe.
Earlier, at BearingPoint, I worked with engineers and academics to translate complex technical subject matter into BBC and Financial Times coverage. Most recently, I have been doing the same in a science-led AI and biotech environment, helping a new kind of organisation find its voice with the audiences that matter most.
