On-Demand Digital Leadership, Strategy & AI-Enabled Content Expertise

I help organisations land digital transformation that sticks—providing flexible, senior-level strategy without the commitment of a full-time hire. With 20+ years’ experience delivering for global clients such as Coca-Cola EuroPacific Partners, Shell, RTW Investments, Tritax, U+I, and Plus X, I bridge the gap between vision and execution—bringing clarity, structure, and measurable results.

How I add value

  • Digital Transformation & Adoption: Leading re-platforming projects, governance reviews, and stakeholder alignment to ensure CMS, brand, and channel initiatives deliver ROI.
  • Brand & Content Strategy: Developing messaging frameworks, content hierarchies, taxonomies, and multi-channel storytelling that unify brand experience.

  • AI-Enhanced Strategy & Workflows: Using AI for persona modelling, competitor benchmarking, automated audits, KPI dashboards, and smarter content production.

  • Research & Discovery: Designing and running qualitative and quantitative research—interviews, surveys, benchmarking, and workshops—to inform evidence-based strategy.

  • Governance & Measurement: Creating KPI frameworks, analytics dashboards, and peer reviews to track success and guide optimisation.

  • Pitch & Business Development: Leading pitch teams, shaping proposals, and crafting compelling narratives that win new business.

  • Fractional Content Leadership: Providing ongoing content creation, campaign planning, and quarterly reviews to keep your communications relevant and audience-focused.

Why work with me?

I collaborate confidently with C-suite stakeholders, creative teams, and technical partners—adapting quickly to new teams and challenges. My approach combines rigorous research, AI-enabled insight, and empathetic leadership to simplify complexity, build consensus, and deliver digital and brand strategies that create lasting impact.

Available on an ad-hoc or retained basis, I’m your trusted partner for projects that require hands-on expertise, strategic thinking, and flexible leadership.
