How I Work
I embed. Whether I'm leading strategy on a government summit or shaping a brand platform for a global corporate, I work inside the team, not at arm's length. I believe the best strategic work happens when the strategist is close enough to the brief, the client and the production reality to make decisions that hold up under pressure. I've led pitches, built frameworks, managed cross-functional delivery and sat across the table from C-suite stakeholders and government officials in equal measure. That range, from ideation to execution, from boardroom to build, is what I bring.
Every engagement starts with listening. I invest time in understanding the client's intent, the political and cultural landscape, the audience and the operational constraints before I write a single word of strategy. I pair that with a practical, applied approach to AI: not as a novelty but as an accelerant across research, content, production and reporting. The result is strategic work that is sharper, faster and grounded in evidence. I work best with teams who value clarity over complexity and outcomes over activity.
