Brand strategist & business builder with 15+ years across positioning, messaging, marketing and digital — backed by real-world business experience.
South AfricaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a brand strategist and business builder with 15+ years across business, branding and marketing — with the added perspective of building and running businesses myself.
I help businesses find the real problem, clarify what matters and make better decisions before jumping into execution. My work spans business and brand strategy, positioning, differentiation, messaging, creative direction, marketing and digital strategy.
I’m equally comfortable starting with a blank page, untangling an existing brand or working alongside a creative team to turn strategy into something people actually notice and understand.
I’ve built businesses from the ground up, advised founders and brands, and worked across both strategy and hands-on execution.
Give me a brand problem or a blank page and I’m in my element.
