What I'm looking for

I seek senior creative or content leadership roles where I can blend cinematic storytelling with data-driven marketing to grow brands, mentor teams, and deliver measurable engagement and revenue.

I am a creative director and global brand storyteller with 15+ years' experience in sales, marketing, and content production for major consumer and software companies. I combine strategic marketing leadership with hands-on filmmaking — directing, shooting, and editing campaigns and short films that drive engagement and revenue.

I have led cross-functional global teams, launched products and digital strategies that delivered measurable sales growth, and produced thousands of digital content pieces. Recently trained at the London Film Academy, I bring cinematic craft (DaVinci Resolve, cinematography, lighting, sound) to branded storytelling and scalable digital marketing execution.
