About

As I have grown older, I have become more passionate about reconnecting people with nature. This has led me to Shadowmap, an application focused on sun and shade, and to work campaigning for clean rivers. I am also dedicated to the world of Fintech, writing for several publications and running a website. I am a very successful entrepreneur who founded HeathWallace, the first digital agency focused on financial services globally. Starting in the UK, I grew it internationally, eventually selling it to WPP. I am a digital professional with 25 years of agency experience, understanding what customers want and need, and ensuring they are truly represented. My primary focus over the previous 25 years has been financial services, and I have worked with the great and good of the FS industry globally.

Heathwallace

Global CEO HeathWallace

Dec 2001 – Jul 2019 · 17 yrs 7 mos

I founded HeathWallace in 2001. The focus of the company from the start was online financial services. From a standing start in 2001, HeathWallace was soon working with the largest Banks in the world, including Schwab in the UK, RBS and HSBC. The company continued to grow and based on its success in the UK it looked internationally. The company now has offices in Hong Kong, Chicago, Cape Town, Melbourne and Reading. In 2008 the company was acquired by WPP. WPP has been instrumental in helping HeathWallace consolidate on its position globally and enabled it to broaden its appeal. In 2010, I was also asked to undertake a role as CTO for the JWT Group in the UK. This led onto an interim role as Head of Digital for JWT in London. I now sit on JWT's Global Digital Board.
