As a teenager I wrote a career plan: work in fashion; make a difference. I did both, then followed the thread. Creators, tech founders, people making stuff. What gains traction, what scales, how it speaks to the zeitgeist.

TL;DR I'm buoyed by entrepreneurial spirit, hustle and heart, and most myself when championing creativity to solve meaningful problems.

Generalist, connector, writer, builder: I make things happen for people with bold ideas. With 15+ years spanning marketing, brand strategy, partnerships, product and customer experience, my edge is range. I connect dots others miss, build the playbooks and communities that make things stick, hold the thread when strategy shifts, and craft content and campaigns that make ideas legible to the world while driving pipeline – delivering growth even when budgets don't.

I've done it as a founder, as a first employee navigating company pivots, and as the right hand to founders who needed someone equally comfortable in the weeds as the boardroom.

On maternity leave until January 2027 – during which I’m learning new things including running the AI on Maternity Leave community and events.

In 2020 I joined Social Supermarket as the first employee. The B Corp is the go-to marketplace for gifts and merchandise that have social impact. With an impact dashboard and storytelling tools behind purchases, we help corporates put their money where their values are, then ensure employees and stakeholders know about it. Proud to drive ripples of social change AND waves of business impact.
