Marketing Leader · Consultant · Coach
20+ years helping enterprise brands grow — from Kayo Sports to Afterpay. I solve messy problems, build great teams, and make marketing actually work.
Let's TalkAbout
From launching Kayo Sports from zero to leading Afterpay's marketing across ANZ, UK and Canada (Block/S&P 500), I've built brands in fast-moving, high-stakes environments.
I love the messy stuff: scaling teams under pressure, cracking new markets, navigating regulation, and building brands people actually trust. I'm deep in fintech, retail and streaming — and hands-on with MarTech, growth marketing and creative.
My style is big-company experience without the big-company distance. I work alongside your team, not above them.
MBA (UNSW). Effies Judge. Genuinely passionate about developing people.
Selected Work
Team cut by 60%, scope doubled. Rebuilt structure, strategy and systems across ANZ, UK and Canada. Implemented AI tools, in-house creative studio, and 120+ automated lifecycle journeys.
Built the brand, team and go-to-market from scratch. Launched with 1,500 unique OOH executions and 30+ athletes. First News Corp subsidiary to win "Brand of the Year."
Took on Afterpay's hardest audience: people who had actively rejected the brand. A risky brief that required bold creative and a sharp strategic point of view.
Led AI adoption before it was mainstream. Built custom GPTs, ran company hackathons, and rolled out Hightouch CDP for AI-driven personalisation — replacing 4+ FTEs of manual work.
What I Do
Go-to-market planning, brand positioning, new market entry, and growth frameworks built for real-world conditions — not decks that sit in a drawer.
Step into a CMO or VP Marketing role while you search, scale, or transform. I integrate fast, build trust quickly, and deliver from day one.
Restructure marketing teams, build culture, and develop the capability to do more with less — especially in organisations navigating rapid change.
From zero to iconic, or from damaged to trusted — brand strategy rooted in consumer truth, business reality, and creative bravery.
Practical AI adoption for marketing teams. MarTech stack rationalisation, CDP implementation, and automation that actually reduces workload.
1:1 coaching for marketing leaders and senior teams. Thought partnership, career navigation, and the honest conversations most advisors avoid.
Get In Touch
I work with enterprise teams who want a senior marketing partner — not a consultant who disappears after the strategy deck.
