About me
As an independent strategist and senior design leader I support leadership teams at digital agencies and product companies.
Together we take big leaps and achieve big positive changes. You can work with me on a project, interim or permanent basis.
The benefits to my clients are clear:
- Alternative insights and futures research lead to better-informed decision making
- Custom AI agent building and model training become part of the strategic design toolbox
- Actionable, collaboratively-laid plans bring more effective ways-of-working
- The right talent is found, hired and proactively evolve culture and operations
- International commercial and cultural insights strengthen local and regional offerings
- Global experience and network eases entries into sought-after markets
How we get there
- Evolving creative teams into strategic, commercially strong, design organisations
- Enabling the merging of design and AI expertise
- Bringing foresight into strategic design processes
- Coaching management as a team and as individual leaders
- Identifying top talent in unexpected places
- Commercial market entries with a focus on Singapore, Japan, Northern Europe and US
