Hi, again.

I founded Create A Bold Future LLC, a global brand and innovation advisory, because I believe that brands exist to benefit humanity, not the other way around. We need to make brands and innovation work harder for us.

My book, Brand New World, equips next-generation leaders to embrace creative thinking, feel confident in making impactful billion-dollar choices, and harness the power of their brand and innovation leadership teams to create a bold future.

I’m passionate about connecting with people one-on-one and with cultures first-hand to develop an informed perspective and a deep understanding of the problems that need solving. I thrive on the challenge of taking brands into the future and unleashing creativity, talent, and passion in others to get there.

Originally from the UK, I have three decades of global brand, innovation, strategy and leadership experience across multiple industries, for-profit and not-for-profit brands including Nike, The Earthshot Prize, Reebok, Mattel and many other global brands under NDA. I’ve worked in multiple geographies, categories, functions and on global moments such as the Olympics and the Football World Cup. I’m currently studying a Masters in Global Development (due May 2025).

I have lived in Portland, Oregon for almost fourteen years and I’ve been an ICF-certified professional coach (CPCC) since 2011, empowering creators, innovators, and leaders to break paradigms about what’s possible in the future.
