I have over 20 years experience in Digital
I have been leading teams in a challenging, fast paced environment for over 2 decades.
I also like to get stuck in and love helping clients with their visions — turning their ideas into successful digital deliveries.
In my most recent role, I was the Managing Director & chair of the strategic board for award winning digital agency Clock Limited. I started my career as a developer and worked my way to the very top of the agency.
“I have a passion for all things digital and relish the challenge of delivery and operations in a fast-paced environment.
I have been privileged enough to supervise and collaborate on many complex and high-profile projects and clients, including Times+, Wall Street Journal Global Loyalty Programme, League of Legends (Riot Games), Gloucester Rugby, Leicester Tigers, Saracens, Sunday World for Independent News & Media and Go Think Big for Telefonica, to name just a few. If you are interested, you can see a more detailed listing below.
I am extremely proud to be a Non-Executive director for Wildish & Co, a creative agency with studios in Hackney & Marlborough. They re-invigorate emerging brands, future-proof the world’s most trusted businesses and help startups to catch their big break.
With over 20 years in digital and a myriad varied clients, briefs, sectors and products, I have been fortunate to work on, I am well versed in the following:
Even though I tend do less coding these days - I help more than I build - I know my way around the technical stuff, having begun my career as a developer, which means I can ensure the team reach the highest quality output.
I like running team building activities and believe I am friendly leader who helps get the best out of the team, which also includes placing myself within that team so that I don't set unfair expectations. I am well versed in team direction and objective setting.
The world of digital changes at break-neck speed, which means you need a clear vision but also have the ability to adapt. Having come from both a software engineers and project management background, I do like agile plans!
I have been fortunate to have won and worked with some of the best companies on the planet, I have also been on teams that have lost pitches - so I have learned what works and what doesn't. I really love digging into, and helping to write, creative briefs.
I am well versed in budgeting, target setting and financial reporting. Money matters - even for non-for-profit work.
I have a tonne of other skillsets to do with new products and business creation, web skills and digital marketing, 20 years in digital means I have learned a lot. Overall, I feel my greatest stengths are my adaptability, the fact I am an optimist and I like to have fun. I like to work hard and play hard.

Riot Games were looking for a multilingual site – that delivered a world class experience for followers of the European League of Legends professional teams. I was hugely proud to play my part in winning and delivering the site, it was also nominated for a Webby.

I am huge sports fan, I like pretty much all sports. Back when I used to build sites for living, I helped created Saracens.com which won rugby site of the year for many years. Flashing forward to more recent times, I helped win, architect a fan app and website for Gloucester Rugby that I am extremely proud of. I enjoyed it so much, that I consider myself a Gloucester Rugby fan having gotten so engaged in the club behind the scenes.
If you've not heard of Contagious, you are missing out. They have their fingers on the pulse of what's cool and whats working in the world of creative marketing. I am proud to have worked with Contagious to help forge their online presence and I/O tool.
In my most recent build portfolio, I helped art dealer and interior designer Solène Boyer build a virtual art gallery where users can see artwork in their living space before choosing to purchase.
To be honest, there are far too many sites to pick out individually, I am proud of each and every site/app/project I've contributed to.
