About

I’ve spent 15 years at the intersection of marketing, gaming, and technology - from competing as a semi-pro player to leading campaigns for some of the biggest names in the industry. In 2018, I built a multi-7-figure marketing agency focused on gaming, esports, creators & crypto, helping global brands connect authentically with users. Later, I co-founded BIGR, an AI startup that automated social media creation for businesses. The startup didn’t go the distance, but it taught me more about product, scale, and leadership than any success ever could. Today, I specialise in B2B strategy and connection - building bridges between brands, partners, and opportunities. I thrive on navigating challenges, unblocking ideas, and bringing the right people together to make things happen.
