I started my career marketing Royal Doulton fine china to brides and collectors.

After working in brand management and advertising, and spending 4 years in the USA, I returned to the UK to hold numerous senior commercial and marketing posts - successfully initiating and developing international business and strategic alliances that contemporised the brand and grew sales.

I then joined W.H. Smith to lead own label new product development and strategic marketing in stationery, news, magazines and f.m.c.g categories.

An opportunity to work as a multi-channel consultant with B&Q led to the foundation of Head First in 2003.

I'm an alumnus of London Business School and have spoken at many corporate conference and industry marketing events.
