Global Marketing & Business Transformation Leader

Brand that performs.
Technology that matters.
Marketing built as a system.

Why I built this

A hands-on experiment.

This site began with a practical question: if AI is changing how companies create, communicate and work, how much can one person now build by combining curiosity, experience and the right tools?

I built this space as a hands-on experiment across ideas, writing, design and code. Not because technology replaces expertise or human judgement, but because leaders need firsthand experience of the transformations they ask organisations to make.

Less a showcase of answers than a record of an evolving point of view.

Experience across consumer goods, a global joint venture, technology and retail

01 · Consumer goods

Brand as a commercial discipline.

Unilever built the foundation: portfolio choices, innovation, P&L rigour and the understanding that creativity matters most when it creates customer and business value.

02 · Joint venture

Growth through shared authority.

Pepsi Lipton International strengthened my ability to align complex stakeholders and turn different organisational interests into a common growth agenda.

03 · Technology

Speed, data and ecosystems.

Google reshaped how I think about platforms, experimentation, digital velocity and the relationship between technology and human behaviour.

04 · Global retail

Omnichannel transformation at scale.

At IKEA Retail, the focus is connecting brand, media, CRM, digital experience, performance and AI-enabled capabilities across more than 30 markets.
