Experience
My career began in global marketing for Vapormatic Ltd (John Deere) in agricultural and industrial parts, before moving to Goodridge Ltd, where I managed the brand and executed complex campaigns in performance, motorsport and OEM automotive sectors.
This background in global manufacturing and OEM markets gives me a unique understanding of technical industries.
