About me

A communicator by trade, I've spent my career collecting hats - marketeer, strategist, employee advocate, sustainability champion - learning to wear them all while navigating the complex layers of global multinationals like my current employer, DHL Group. I've had the fortune of working on some of the world's biggest brands (Red Bull, Adidas, Volkswagen, LVMH Group), but have settled for over a decade at DHL; a company that has supported my growth and allowed me the chance to influence change at the highest levels.
Over that time, I've built an international track record not just in delivering some of the logistics and e-commerce industry's biggest lead generation and revenue programs, but in helping to shape a top 100 brand and an Employer of Choice, previously nominated the Worlds Best Place to Work.
While I left DHL for a stint of travelling and also consulting in the SaaS sector, I was headhunted back with a new challenge: lead marketing and communications for their newest division, DHL eCommerce. To build a global network, to help define and deliver the business strategy and work with the global board to create a division operating in 28 countries, and acquiring customers across the B2B, B2C and C2X spectrum.
Nowadays I'm as likely to be found dreaming up acquisition programs as I am delivering on the sustainability ambitions, helping to drive our decarbonization, social purpose and governance efforts.
