What I'm looking for
With over 12 years of experience in strategic communications, I specialize in building and protecting reputational capital for leading travel tech and telecommunications brands.

I have successfully advised C-suite executives and led initiatives that have resulted in significant media coverage and increased sales revenue.
As a consultant at Horizon Communications, I provide expert guidance in communications strategy, brand messaging, and thought leadership for global brands and startups. My work includes developing comprehensive communications plans for product launches, crafting high-impact messaging for executive engagements, and conducting in-depth research to optimize content performance. My previous roles at Skyscanner and Telefonica UK have equipped me with the skills to manage high-performing communications teams and implement data-driven strategies that deliver measurable results.
