Experience

After 20 years of working on developing my Technology skills I've meandered through several industries and verticals, as well as all sizes of business.

Where I have landed in a niche that sits between Business and Technology teams, or rather Marketing and the Technologies that are needed to ensure Campaigns can deliver and demonstrate success.

I've worked for myself, for people. I've worked by myself, built in-house teams and worked with scattered global teams on complex projects. Comfortable being on a team, leading a team or self-serving.

My work has led me to relocate to Dubai, having spent a few years at Dyson's UK headquarters where exposure to people across the globe and enterprise technology accelerated my innate desire to learn more.

Aside from the internal-facing meetings and presentations for the businesses I've work for, I have given talks and demonstrations on Analytics Topics for Datatechvibe’s Data and Analytics Summits, in both the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

I’ve found my mix of skills and experience lend themselves well to companies looking for direction in a Media Technology, given the constantly evolving landscape and the immediate need to deliver quality in demanding timeframes.
