He has over 20 years’ experience in the industry spanning a broad spectrum of areas including integrated planning, digital strategy and innovation and activation. 

He has held a number of senior leadership positions both within the UK and Internationally, which included a three year stint in the US, where he was the President of Vizeum before becoming MD of 360i alongside his existing Vizeum duties following the strategic alignment of these Agency Brands in 2016.
