International Marketing Consultant
About

I'm a creative marketer with a flair and passion for international business and communication. I've worked with multinational companies, government agencies, NGOs, small business and solopreneurs for over 18 years. I have a wealth of international experience which I now apply both on and offline. I have a real passion for emerging markets and creating strategies that convert. As citizen of the world, international communication is in my DNA, I'm half English, half Egyptian, and grew up in the Middle East before studying in the UK. I have a Masters in Marketing, a BA Honors Degree in History of Modern Art and a background in Fine Art. I currently live in a small village in the South of France which has been my home for the last 14 years.
