About Me
With over a decade of experience navigating both global agency networks (WPP, IPG) and executive client-side leadership, I specialize in architecting future-proof digital commerce engines. Since relocating to Canada in January 2023, my focus remains absolute: transforming complex data into sustainable enterprise revenue across North American markets.
I approach digital strategy with a rigorous, no-nonsense mindset. I hold a B.Com. (Honors) in Business Science in Strategic Marketing and a B.A. in Integrated Marketing Communications, but my core ethos comes from a simple family motto: “If you are going to do something, spend the time and do it right.” This standard dictates every campaign I build, every infrastructure I restructure, and every team I lead.
