About me

In May 2018 I joined Publicis Groupe UK as CEO and in my role I oversee all 27 of Publicis Groupe's businesses in the UK. These range from creative agencies Saatchi & Saatchi and Leo Burnett to media agencies Zenith and Starcom and from a range of Publicis Health agencies to Publicis Sapient, a digital business transformation company of scale. I am focused on growth and driving Publicis Groupe's unique Power of One proposition by getting the Groupe's top talent to bring their unique skills seamlessly together to deliver against client-centric needs. Publicis Groupe UK clients range from BT to HSBC and Asda to GSK and from P&G to Eon and McDonald's to Butlins and many, many more.

I also became the Chair of the Creative Industries Trade and Investment Board in September 2018.

Previous to this I worked at Ogilvy for 17 years and in various roles, from leading and building OgilvyOne in the UK and EMEA to becoming the CEO role of Ogilvy UK Group, with responsibility for ten different but connected agency brands.

Prior to my arrival at Ogilvy, I worked for eight years at Wunderman, mostly in New York.
