About

Senior client and delivery leader with 10+ years’ experience owning accounts and complex digital projects end-to-end across agency and scale-up environments. I operate at the intersection of client leadership, delivery execution, and commercial outcomes, ensuring work is delivered on time, on brief, and with measurable impact. I have led day-to-day client relationships for local and international brands, acting as the primary point of contact for stakeholders while driving account health, retention, and growth. My work spans integrated digital, creative, social, content, performance, and technical delivery across industries including FMCG, finance, fintech, media, telecoms, retail, hospitality, and e-commerce. Alongside account ownership, I remain deeply hands-on with delivery and project management, translating briefs into clear plans, managing scope, timelines, budgets, and resourcing, and coordinating cross-functional teams across creative, media, and technical disciplines. I am known for bringing structure to complex environments, improving workflows, and maintaining high delivery standards without slowing teams down. I work best in senior, execution-led roles where strong client relationships, delivery discipline, and operational clarity are equally critical.
