I have spent 20 years helping to grow some of the world’s most exciting brands and businesses around the globe. Starting my career at Procter & Gamble as a financial analyst means my approach to any business/marketing challenge is rooted in a strong analytical case, but I am always sure to let my creative side play a strong role in the final solution.
After almost 15 years working at/on Fortune 500 companies ( e.g. P&G, Amex, Unilever, eBay, Yahoo!) across 3 countries, I took the plunge in to the internet start up world 5 years ago first joining MOO.COM. It was a spectacular ride building the business in to a thriving, profitable, global and much loved brand.
Then, in early 2013, I’ve taken on the business leadership of an innovative and sustainable fashion brand – WOOL AND THE GANG – who offer a unique fashion experience. Our customers can either buy unique sexy stylish pieces hand crafted by artisans in Peru or make it themselves with our KNIT KITS and our online wool school.
