What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a commercial partnerships, sales, or account leadership role where I can build trusted client relationships, develop new revenue opportunities, and deliver ambitious projects across media, events, or related sectors.

I've built commercial partnerships and revenue across White Label Creative, 75Media, Alight Media, and News UK. Most recently, I managed national conference partnerships from outreach and proposals through negotiation, client management, and on-site delivery.

At 75Media, I established international sales from the ground up, generating approximately £2m in direct revenue and positioning the business as Temu’s first official out-of-home partner. I developed bespoke commercial solutions for clients across China, the US, Europe, and the UAE.

At Alight Media, I led specialist agency relationships and grew Rapport revenue to more than 120% quarter-on-quarter while managing £3m+ quarterly revenue portfolios and developing two direct reports.

Earlier at News UK and The Sun, I generated approximately £2m in quarterly revenue across print, digital, video, and sponsorship products. I bring a warm, calm communication style, strong organisation, and experience building trust with customers, clients, agencies, and stakeholders.
