About Me

I am MD of Beachbody UK. Beachbody.com is one of the most influential fitness businesses in North America with some of the biggest selling Fitness DVD programmes in the world. Prior to this I spent 4 years as Managing Director of TV Shopping Channel (DRTV) business Thane Direct UK Ltd. Prior to that I was European Sales manager for Thane International. I started my career in Merchandising for Freemans Mail Order before moving to TV Shopping as part of the QVC UK buying team. I left to join start-up TV auction channel bid-up as Retail Manager and a year later moved to Home Shopping Network first in Italy, then the UK where I was seconded to Germany to work on systems implementation and translation with Siebel and SAP.
