Joined Handle 2019

As a marketing leader with over 15 years of experience in the creative industries, I specialise in talent attraction, branding, and data-driven marketing that drives business growth and empowers sales teams.

At Handle, we connect great brands with the talent they need to succeed. Whether you're looking to enhance your hiring process, streamline onboarding and compliance for freelancers, or securing your next opportunity in the creative industries - I’m here to help.

I recently co-founded Talent Halo to provide people consultancy and talent accelerators to the great brands of tomorrow. We founded Talent Halo because founders want you to do the right thing for their people but can’t usually attract or afford a-player HR talent.

Career experience:

🟢 Led marketing and digital strategies both agency-side and in-house, with a particular focus on the creative sector.

🟢 Giving back to the creative industries through industry partnerships, sharing insight, and public speaking.

🟢 Specialise in recruitment tech, data, and employer branding, helping companies build strong, resilient teams.

🟢 Extensive international experience, developing and implementing effective marketing strategies.

🟢 Proven track record in building and rebuilding marketing functions, driving growth, and improving team performance.

Have you received an unexpected WhatsApp message from someone pretending to be me?

If you have, please don’t reply! There is a widely known employment scam that involves a scammer impersonating a recruiter and luring victims in with promises of work that do not exist. They typically begin by asking for your personal details and might ask for you to pay a fee or make a payment.

If you've already shared any personal information with a potential scammer, you shouldreport the scam to Action Fraud.
