After graduating from the University of Cape Town with BBusSc (Marketing Hons), I began my career at South African Breweries Limited (part of the former SABMiller), where I held roles in brand management, innovation and marketing capability.
After a brief foray into financial services with Nedbank, a premier banking institution in South Africa, I moved to the UK, where I took on a strategic consulting role working with the likes of Unilever and InBev (now ABI).
I moved on from there to a global marketing role with Chivas Brothers Pernod Ricard, where I had responsibility for the Chivas Regal brand.
My final role prior to setting up my consultancy was with Brand Learning, where I worked with numerous FMCG, Pharmaceutical, Oil & Gas and Manufacturing clients.
Since setting up my own business, I have worked with the likes of Novartis, Kellogg’s, Pernod Ricard and Land Securities on projects of a diverse nature.
My breadth and depth of experience both client and consulting side, across a range of culturally diverse markets, makes me a very flexible and in tune marketer.
Away from work, I am married to a sports mad husband and have one daughter and two crazy Miniature Schnauzers. In my spare time, I enjoy walking the dogs, attempting to improve my flexibility with Pilates (and with it, my golf handicap), as well as annoying friends and family alike by taking copious photographs.
