I’m offering
With over 14 years of experience in the media industry, I have a proven track record of delivering high-value campaigns across various platforms and channels, including podcasts, social, print, out of home, radio and digital.

I have successfully spearheaded the merger of the UK and Irish teams in a companywide restructure in 2022 and rebuilt the project management and production teams by hiring, training, and mentoring talented professionals. I report directly to the CEO and collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to ensure the smooth and efficient operation of the commercial and original content departments.
