About me

I am a multicultural and adaptable communicator, with a big interest in empowering youth and building meaningful relationships. I've worked across global sport organisations (Charlotte Hornets, Charlton Athletic Football Club) and for a world leader in hospitality (Accor Group) delivering partnerships and sponsorship activations for brands and their charity arms (Cats Care, Charlton Athletic Community Trust). After recently focusing on the commercial development of a business I co-own in France, I am determined to work in the Sport industry again for ambitious organisations.

I'm experienced in the full scope of management of commercial pipelines, from leads generation and cold calling, contract management and development, to negotiation and closing deals, meeting financial KPIs and reporting regularly on progress to SMT. I have successfully set up new business strategies and continually rolled those out to expand our portfolio and increase yearly revenue for the commercial team. I also delivered the account management piece for my personal portfolio as well as the overall sponsorship budget (£1.2M budget).

Having worked across organisation under constant scrutiny from the media, I have gained best in class front of house skills, with experience managing hospitality staff, in excess of 800 HMIV guests and maximising use of operation of facilities (i.e Venue hire, group events, diners, galas, corporate pitch hire).

Finally, my different roles have finally all implied a strong marketing flair, working collaboratively with diverse departments, to produce and deliver compelling proposals, insights collaterals, videos, designs, and other reports to C-levels, as well as planning complex joint marketing campaigns for our brand and our partners (i.e AccorHotels' Tour de France sponsorship, Children With Cancer Uk & CAFC front of shirt sponsorship) and other coms and marketing digital strategies.
