Director, Global Digital Corporate Communications

Digital & Media

Seasoned digital & web marketing professional with over 13+ years of extensive experience bridging gaps between clients, internal business partners, 3rd parties and technology stakeholders. Primary focus is creating products and solutions that help drive key stakeholder priorities by leveraging the internet to drive online and in-store sales. Also critical is bridging the gap between traditional and new media in an ever evolving digital landscape at a time of inflection points of growth which can be attributed to social media and mobile devices. My strategic philosophy is a connected commerce strategy that leverages many of the major paths to purchase such as e-commerce, online marketing, paid search/natural search, display media, comparison shopping engines, affiliate marketing, mobile/tablet platforms, CRM, web personalization, e-mail marketing and social media marketing to drive sales, increase market share, create brand awareness and amplify customer loyalty.

Highly comfortable with small, medium and large scale web applications and how to build for volume and growth. Results driven track record driving substantial top and bottom line value.

With a strong architectural and digital background I have spent my career growing and running digital competencies within a number of companies. Innovation is at the centre of everything I do. Understanding technical limitations (or the lack of them) at the same time as demanding pixel perfect creative has allowed me to work on some amazing projects over my career. I have run everything from digital retail strategies for leading brands to large e-commerce platforms and industry changing stores. I'm just getting started...
