Highly strategic and digital-focussed, I have proven success winning new business pitches and leading cross-functional teams on global / regional projects. I'm one of the rare creatives to study an MBA and strongly believe diversity drives creativity (more on that here).

A BIT ABOUT ME: Like many Aussies I love the beach and anything sporty. I keep my mind limber playing Scrabble in English & German and get inspired by the challenge of long distance running. I'm a 6 Star Major Marathon Medalist and hold the Guinness World Record for Fastest Half Marathon Dressed as a Monk. And I promise I'm much humbler than this profile makes me sound!
