I'm energised by untapped potential.
When I see a brand that could be doing so
much more, I can't help but be motivated to
steer them to see what's not working,
what's possible — and then give them the clarity & tools to make it real.

my edge

CULTURAL INTELLIGENCE
& FLUENCY
I stay on the pulse of how people behave and what moves them - now and next. 70+ markets, Europe-Africa dynamics, brand frameworks built for cultural resonance. Market nuance, not just marketing theory.
others miss
Most marketers solve the wrong problem or optimize one touchpoint in isolation. I map the entire system - journey, messaging, positioning, execution - to spot friction points others miss.
& execution
Most strategists audit and disappear. Most executors don't think strategically. I do both. You don't get a deck that sits in a folder. You get work that actually gets done.
I'm a sparring partner, not a deliverable machine. I push back when something doesn't add up and won't let you waste resources on tactics that don't match your strategy. Honest counsel, real results.
