Having worked extensively with PR and Communications agencies, I understand how to get things done fast and effectively.
My experience as an agency principal and start-up founder has given me a huge range of skills and experience that I can apply practically to any project.
Working client-side has taught me how to get stakeholders onside with a project, navigate organisational politics, and make sure everyone's truly on the same page.
