I drive commercial growth through strategic partnerships, market intelligence, and global education opportunities.
What I'm looking for
I'm shaping commercial strategy for income-generating, distance, blended, and online learning at the University of London. I negotiate with member institutions, teaching centres, and third-party suppliers while using market intelligence to grow the portfolio globally.
Across senior business roles at the University of London, I've expanded commercial opportunities, developed regional business strategies, managed partner accounts, and drafted contracts to grow revenue. I've also led partner onboarding, business and marketing planning, stakeholder communications, and virtual and in-person events.
Earlier, I managed a £1 billion Transport for London contract at Global Media and developed partnerships, marketing campaigns, events, and recruitment activity across higher education and media brands. I'm experienced in CRM, Pardot, WordPress, Sitecore, Google Analytics, Hootsuite, social media, and Microsoft tools.
