About

I help brands, organizations, and institutions turn the constant flow of online conversations into strategic intelligence they can act on. Over the past 16+ years as Founder & CEO of Buzztech, I’ve focused on going far beyond traditional reputation monitoring. My mission is to uncover the signals hidden in millions of daily online interactions — whether that’s anticipating a reputational risk before it escalates, understanding shifting public sentiment, or spotting market opportunities competitors have yet to see. I partner with clients to transform unstructured, multilingual data into clear, actionable insights. Every project is designed to enable faster, smarter decision-making, backed by advanced social listening, AI-driven analytics, and impactful data visualization. Results I’ve delivered include: . Reducing crisis detection times from days to minutes with real-time monitoring. . Delivering insights in 12+ languages for international campaigns. . Supporting strategic communications for high-profile brands and organizations across multiple countries. . Building proprietary visual analytics tools, including The Signal, used to navigate complex and fast-changing social landscapes. My work sits at the intersection of design, data, and insight — making sure that even the most complex findings are presented in a way that’s engaging, clear, and immediately useful to decision-makers. As a lecturer in Digital Marketing, Web & Social Media Listening, and Data Visualization, I also share this expertise with the next generation of marketers at leading universities. When I’m not immersed in data, you’ll find me running marathons and ultra-marathons, exploring mountain trails, or with my two dogs. I’m also an avid reader and a passionate modern & contemporary art enthusiast.
