About

I’m focused on shaping the future of marketing in the world of work. As Interim CMO at Hays, I lead global teams to deliver strategies that create impact, build relevance and strengthen our connection with clients, candidates and colleagues. With 20+ years across e-commerce, SaaS, tech and recruitment, I’ve learned that effective marketing sits at the intersection of data, technology and people. Digital transformation is changing how we operate, but real progress happens when strategy, culture and collaboration move in step. I believe in high-performing teams built on clarity, accountability and shared purpose. Valued behaviours matter: supporting each other, challenging well, and creating space for ideas. When teams understand the “why” and own the “how,” the work speaks for itself. I’m deeply interested in how AI, automation and customer insight reshape marketing, and in helping leaders navigate that shift with focus and practicality.
