WHAT I DO
strategist
noun.
strat.e.gist
determining the best way to gain an advantage and win.
WHY I DO IT
I'm a multi-disciplinary strategist and marketer with storytelling superpowers. I'm analytically minded and data literate but in a humanly intuitive and non-robotic way. I love spotting trends and patterns, hacking culture, diagnosing and analysing business problems, and addressing them with optimal solutions and recommendations. Ultimately, I'm zealous about unlocking new levels of category-defining work.
Why? Experience has taught me that budgets, bureaucracy, and risk aversion dilutes what gets put out into the world, so great ideas have to be fought for. And this is a responsibility that I take very seriously. Everybody wins this way.
