I'm open to job opportunities

With over 5 years’ experience in Internet start up and digital agency environments, I have acquired strong capabilities as a digital strategist/manager. Having worked on a large number of international accounts, I have developed excellent organisational and people skills to deliver projects with a high consumer value. With a strong interest in digital and a broad range of skills and experience, I have become more involved in digital strategy and business development.
My objectives are to further my experience in these fields to create innovative products with a compelling and engaging user experience in line with defined business objectives.
