My background spans hops, beer, wine and ingredient supply chains, with a focus on translating complexity into clarity — whether that's market intelligence, product strategy, new product development, or new ways of working. Over the past three years, I've been based in the US, operating at senior level within an industry-pillar business across global portfolios and markets.

I've held commercial leadership roles across the UK, Europe, the US, and Africa, which has shaped how I think about systems, culture, and long-term value. Earlier in my career I taught in further education, including special education — an experience that still informs how I communicate and support others. I'm drawn to work that balances commercial outcomes with purpose, and I tend to gravitate toward roles where learning, curiosity, and problem-solving matter as much as execution.

I also design and build lightweight digital tools, data models, and AI-assisted workflows — typically in service of commercial strategy, market intelligence, or operational clarity. JavaScript, data systems, and applied AI are part of how I think and work, not a separate discipline.

Alongside my professional life, I explore photography and spend as much time as possible outdoors. I care deeply about understanding how things connect, and about doing work that stands up over time.
