About Me

I started my advertising career in London at Saatchi & Saatchi, subseqently working with M&C Saatchi and with clients such as Visa International, British Airways, The Mirror, Reuters and Procter & Gamble.

In 2004 I moved 'client side' to lead the communications team at the National Gallery, London. During my  four years there I defined the first brand strategy for this 250 year old institution. I initiated and managed significant change across all Gallery disciplines, and defined the brand strategy underpinning the Gallery's communications and operations.

I am now the Director, Brand Strategy for WWF International (World-Wide Fund for Nature) in Geneva. WWF is an iconic brand, but facing a number of challenges as the organisation grows and diversifies. I havelead the redefining of the WWF brand, the creation of brand guidelines and a creative platform to underpin all global communications, enabling WWF to‘release the power of the panda’ and  to speak with one voice.

I hold a Masters degree in Byzantine Studies from Oxford University and a BA (Hons) degree in History of Art from Bristol University. I was born in South Africa, lived for 15 years in England and currently live in Switzerland. I am married to a Welsh/Australian, and have an Afghan Hound.
