strategic communications

A global citizen. A curious interrogator. A contrarian thinker, creative collaborator, and occasional storyteller.

Since 2006, I’ve lived in 20 countries, including Ghana, Abu Dhabi, Jordan, Lebanon, Singapore, Malaysia, Mexico, The Bahamas, Serbia, and Portugal, and traveled to 58 across six continents. Some would call me ‘seasoned.’

Professionally, I’ve been a country director in strategic communications engaging with governments and interviewing about four-hundred political leaders and chief executives worldwide. I visited sugar beet operations in western Ukraine, the Aqaba Port in Jordan, oil and gas multinationals in the UAE, real estate projects in Phuket, and for three months, bounced between Nassau and Freeport. My first interview was with world-record pole-vaulter Sergey Bubka in Kyiv; my first prime minister was Saad Hariri in Beirut. Then, Alexander Vucic in Serbia, Irakli Garibashvili in Georgia, and the Governor of The British Virgin Islands. In the Emirates, I shot pistols with Caracal, the small arms manufacturer; I walked barefoot through Petra listening to Beethoven; and I drank Friday afternoon whisky with an interviewee in Cambodia. Collectively, projects I managed generated millions in advertising revenue.

As a management consultant, I helped teams in government-linked companies in Southeast Asia, as lead advisor on strategy, transformational change, and growth. When I was CEO of a music company, I produced “Live at The Gunnery”, expanded our client roster, and was the ‘face of the studio’ at advertising festivals as a keynote speaker, panelist, and moderator — from Singapore to Korea to Los Angeles. In the early 2000s, I led a financial services brokerage in London, digital currency before ‘fintech,’ working with international clients. My first business trip was to Ibiza with FashionTV.

Outside these pursuits, for ten years I contributed to dozens of on-ground business intelligence reports for a Southeast Asian risk management firm.

Through 2020 I conceived and formulated a refreshing non-alcoholic adult beverage designed to elicit a state of calm.

My origin story begins in a Tae Kwon Do gym at six years old, earning a black belt by eleven. That same year, I joined the Police Rangers, led by ex-SAS mentors, learning bushcraft and first aid on twenty-kilometre hikes. I captained my high school basketball team to a grand final loss, went on to complete seven jumps in an accelerated free-fall parachute course, and am a nitrox-certified PADI Rescue Diver with over 100 dives: night-diving the Swan River for Blue Swimmer crabs, The Bahamas, Sipadan, and Komodo.

Today, I work with leaders who challenge, as a performance coach and thought partner — a hybrid of intellectual integrity, physical wellbeing, and mental clarity.

Educated in Australia and the United Kingdom, I have an MBA (Australia), an MA Global Diplomacy (SOAS), and a PgDip in Laws (Lond.) Also, these: Professional Scrum Master (PSM), Professional Agile Leadership (PAL), and Change Management Specialist (CMS®), and Six Sigma & Lean.
