What I'm looking for

I'm looking for freelance CRM strategy, lifecycle marketing, Klaviyo optimisation, and ongoing CRM support projects where I can use data, strategy and creativity to build more relevant customer experiences.

At Tigo Fitness, I lead CRM and lifecycle strategy across customer engagement, acquisition and revenue growth, including a migration from ActiveCampaign to Klaviyo. I also work freelance with e-commerce, subscription, fashion, and health and wellness businesses to optimise customer journeys.

I’ve led retention programmes across email, SMS and push at Barkyn, and previously managed customer communication across 24 international markets at Bodum. I combine strategy, data and creativity to make customer communication more relevant, personalised and impactful.
