What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role where I can lead technology solutions and automation to reduce costs, improve workflows, and scale ad-tech operations within a collaborative, compliance-focused team.

I am a Technology Solutions Manager with six years' experience streamlining systems, tech and processes to drive client growth and efficiency, including cutting operational costs by 60% through automation and API-led solutions. I routinely troubleshoot and optimise ad-tech stacks—GA4, Adobe Analytics, GTM, Tealium, DV360—and use verification tools such as IAS, MOAT, and DoubleVerify to protect campaign investments.

I build and scale cross-functional workflows, introduce tools like JIRA to reduce errors, and create QA documentation and automation to meet SLAs. I mentor teams, improve onboarding and trafficking via CM360 and Flashtalking, and champion inclusive initiatives, having led a team nominated for a British LGBT Award.
