Being British born doesn't mean I am just about the tea.
How it all started.
Starting out as a runner on the Warner Bros production of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone, I graduated university with a 1st class honours science degree in creative technology & was awarded the Prize for outstanding achievement. Since then I have worked as an ideas led, strategic leader in the fields of advertising, interactive, experience, mobile, broadcast and technology and use my digital know-how to leverage the synergies between them.
Being both technically & creatively skilled I am able to speak both languages enabling me to lead from both sides. Not only have I held senior leadership roles at some of the worlds biggest & best agencies I have ran my own digital agency in Stockholm & London producing work for clients such as JWT, Saatchi, Nokia, Sony Ericsson & Mastercard. In addition to my own digital agency I have worked on a variety of startup projects including Rentgap.com.
