About Me 
Helping businesses thrive through strategic marketing and operational excellence has been my professional focus across three decades. Throughout my career, I've delivered measurable impact in companies ranging from high-growth SMEs to publicly listed giants. 

I combine a passion for customer-centric marketing with hands-on business development expertise, enabling businesses to unlock new opportunities, sharpen sales performance, and improve operational resilience. 

Highlights of my experience include leading sales and marketing functions at Vox Telecoms, Neotel, Intuate Group, and ATIO Corporation, and managing strategic accounts at major brands like Volkswagen, Eveready, Bostik, and Shatterprufe. 

My approach is driven by data, insight, and action: implementing [Insert specific measurable outcome, e.g., 'a 20% uplift in lead conversion rates within 12 months'] and building sustainable growth engines for businesses. I believe that consistent, customer-focused execution delivers real results — not just ideas, but outcomes that matter. 

 

Fun Facts 

• I’m an avid reader and always have at least three books on the go — ranging from business strategy to historical fiction. 

• When I’m not sharpening my skills through study, you’ll often find me on the golf course chasing a better handicap!
