About

I am an extremely passionate Affiliate Marketing and Growth Specialist with a diverse industry background and I drive results through taking a Holistic approach to growth and connecting all channels. Whilst being extremely commercially driven; I can quickly recognise processes that are draining resource, create and execute growth projects, identify new revenue opportunities and manage a vast workload - whilst always focusing on the business KPI's. I have a vast network of contacts in the Digital and Affiliate marketing space that I have leveraged partnerships with for a number of clients and enjoy creating sustainable processes and partnerships that drive growth.
