Sales Executive

I'm a passionate entrepreneur and creative thinker, dedicated to driving positive change within the Talent Acquisition sector. 

I co-founded my first company at 21 which, in five years grew to £40 million in sales and employed over 150 staff globally. 

Since then, I have continued to build and grow businesses particularly within the Talent Acquisition and media sectors. 

I'm best known for connecting people, community building, proposition development, event strategy, leadership, training, motivation, speaking, business development and problem solving.

Sport has always been a significant part of my life.  I have achieved a world-ranking in squash and am striving for a place on the national team. Additionally, I have represented South East England in chess and found success at club level in swimming, cricket, and football. I am currently attempting to complete a 5k run in under 18 minutes - but that's proving to be a real challenge!
