About

A confident, strategic, and results-driven product marketing leader with experience building brands in a variety of sectors: from climate tech to hospitality. I’ve lead fast-growth sustainability start-ups and delivered commercial impact for global consumer businesses, always bringing a balance of creative, brand-building expertise and commercial marketing acumen. Classically trained in marketing and brand management, I built my foundations working on P&G clients before furthering my expertise with the Marketing Week Mini MBA. I’m adept at assessing business needs, developing multi-channel marketing strategies, and leading high-impact campaigns that drive both short-term sales and long-term brand equity. I take great pride in leading and developing high-performing teams and creating a culture of creativity and commercial thinking. As a generalist marketer, I bring strong creative judgment as well as robust, data-driven approach, and excel in brand positioning, go-to-market strategy, content marketing, PR & communications, partnerships, and wider digital marketing. I have successfully delivered national brand campaigns, secured high-profile media coverage, and developed strategic brand collaborations with major industry players. An articulate and engaging communicator, I thrive in cross-functional environments, solving problems with a hands-on, collaborative approach to getting great work done. Whether scaling a brand from scratch or optimising an established player, I bring strategic clarity, creative execution, and a relentless focus on impact.

  • Leading the marketing function at Notpla, a pioneering climate tech startup replacing single-use plastics with seaweed-based packaging. I build and execute our end-to-end marketing strategy to drive commercial growth, brand awareness, and industry education across foodservice, retail, and hospitality.
  • With a strategic yet hands-on approach, I oversee brand positioning, partnerships, performance marketing, PR, digital, and events. In 2023, I led a full brand repositioning, sharpening Notpla’s credibility in the sustainable packaging space - helping to establish us as an industry leader and drive greater commercial traction. This repositioning contributed to a 30% uplift in key brand perception metrics and improved conversion rates across B2B sales channels.
  • Beyond strategy, I thrive in execution. I’ve scaled Notpla’s industry presence from the ground up, securing major partnerships with Just Eat, Uber Eats, Wimbledon, The O2, and Aston Villa, and embedding our brand into the foodservice landscape. I’ve also led high-impact PR and media strategies, resulting in consistent coverage in globally recognised outlets and key industry trade publications.
  • I focus on proving marketing’s commercial impact, blending long-term brand building with data-driven performance marketing. Whether it’s shaping go-to-market strategies, optimising paid and organic channels, or rolling up my sleeves to support the team in executing creative, results-driven campaigns, I drive measurable growth while strengthening Notpla’s position as the leading sustainable packaging brand.
