Interim CMO · Marketing Director

I grow sales and build consumer brands.

Businesses bring me in when they need to reset and achieve better results. I lead marketing for a defined period in retail, hospitality and FMCG, and every decision I make is grounded in data.

Private equity

Built for the pace of PE-backed businesses

Many of my assignments have been in private equity-owned consumer businesses, including leading the marketing workstreams of a full value creation plan. I'm used to compressed timelines, investor scrutiny and being asked from day one where marketing budget is working, where it's wasted and how it will drive EBITDA.

Alongside interim leadership I advise private equity firms and investors on consumer businesses: market and consumer insight, competitor analysis, commercial due diligence and management competency assessments.
