Thanks for visiting my blog where I share my thoughts, learnings, and questions on the big challenge of digital transformation.

 

Here's a little bit about me.

 

My present role is group CEO of IR Media, a publishing & business media firm. Our digital transformation is focused on building new capabilities, launching mobile and data products and creating global communities.
 
Previous to IR Media, I continued my passion for lifelong learning by winning the MBA Entrepreneurial Scholarship at Cass Business School and earning a Distinction and the Academic Medal. While studying, I also worked full-time as a management consultant in a media technology business and launched a SaaS platform helping publishers speed their digital transition and improve collaboration.

 

Before my MBA, I joined TV technology firm Amino as the CMO with the mission to reinvent the firm as a leader in the new wave of multi-screen internet TV. With Intel, we created the first Atom-chip powered advanced TV platform, and I led the deployment team at Telecom Italia to launch.

 

For the first sixteen years of my career though, I was an entrepreneur. I was the CEO of two marketing and strategy consultancies that delivered “x-factor” innovation and creativity for our global blue chip clients.

 

I enjoy being a mentor for MBA students and tech-based startups and doing charity work as a Liveryman at the Worshipful Company of Marketors. I just graduated from Google’s fascinating digital leadership course.
