What I'm looking for

I seek a senior content or digital strategy role where I can lead data-driven campaigns, mentor teams, and drive measurable growth in visibility and leads.

I am a results-driven content marketing specialist with over eight years' B2B experience, skilled in content strategy, SEO, PR and cross-functional stakeholder collaboration. I have led organic blog and SEO programmes that delivered double-digit YoY traffic growth and produced whitepapers and campaigns that materially increased leads and media placements.

Throughout my career I have managed teams, budgets and external agencies while optimising multi-channel demand generation and positioning brands as industry leaders. I focus on measurable outcomes—improving visibility, lead generation and engagement—while mentoring teams and building high-performing content programs.
