What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead creative direction, brand strategy and multidisciplinary teams, building distinctive, scalable brands and campaigns across international markets.

At Exness, I set creative vision across brand, product and campaign work for a global financial services and trading brand, leading brand evolution across international markets while balancing performance, trust and regulatory requirements.

Previously, I led creative teams and brand work at DPDK, Catawiki, Spotzer and G-Star RAW, with agency experience at Ogilvy, TBWA, M&C Saatchi and McCann. I turn business strategy into distinctive, scalable brands, campaigns and visual systems.
