  • After dentsu, continuing to plant seeds and see what grows. Keeping busy providing fractional support to founders and scale ups, MNCs and Not-For-Profits from my base in Phuket.
  • As the worlds of data, technology, consumer experience, lifestyle and commerce collide, there is much that needs to change in the way brands communicate and build relationships with consumers if they want to be successful.
  • Being a big brand with large budgets no longer guarantees your future.
  • Big agencies need to adapt too. However they struggle to be nimble enough and are handcuffed by financial models that are not fit for purpose in the modern age.
  • Through my extensive market experience, global connections, and research, I am an investor, advisor, and connector, helping brands, agencies and technology companies navigate and disrupt the world of consumer engagement.
  • And at the same time, I am constantly thinking of how to invent the future and make the world a better, more sustainable place.
