Why I love what I do

Seeing a business harness communication to deliver a stronger reputation and measurable results from its comms & reputation investment is fulfilling. With so many pressures on leadership to deliver across a whole range of reputation impacting issues and opportunities, corporate reputation and brand value is increasingly important.  

My fun time

Usually giggling with Sally somewhere about adventures we’ve had together involving music, horses, and tequila.
