I’m a marketing and community strategist working with fashion and beauty brands. I started we are forum in 2020, after more than a decade in various London agencies.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
It has never been easier to start a brand and while barriers to entry are low, new brands are launching every day. Consumers have an endless supply of choices available to them and have become more selective and discerning. Their expectations go beyond a good product and good customer service. They have learned to see through once dependable marketing tactics and have become permanently ad-saturated.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Post-pandemic, community has become key to consumers. Brands that put their customers front and centre, facilitating connection and giving them a sense of belonging, are the ones most likely to thrive.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I know that this approach comes with its own set of challenges, which is why I help brands bring to life community flywheels that bring real value to the business and its most dedicated advocates. I don’t believe in the old agency model and work directly with founders, marketing teams and other key stakeholders, offering specialised guidance through flexible support. I want to build brands with impact, by helping them harness the power of community.

Serial entrepreneur and innovation director across multiple verticals, with a technology and sector agnostic approach to consulting. Currently consulting to various ventures ie Medtech, CPG, FMCG, Fintech, Adtech, HeathTech etc

Having been deeply immersed in the Startup / SME EcoSystem for approximately 25 years, in 2 distinct sectors and countries with various business models. Providing both product / services for b2b and b2b segments has allowed me to gain a solid amount of diverse knowledge and understanding.
This entrepreneurial experience also allowed to gain insights of the innovation value chain and operational requirements of building / scaling ventures, for product market fit. The critical component of fundraising through various mechanisms, is an area that I understand well, having bootstrapped businesses and then raised circa 3m Euros across angel, Venture Capital and the European Development Fund (EDF).
The full spectrum of the fund-raising process was arguably the most challenging aspect of venture building for a multitude of reasons and it was a definite grind to get it done. Learning to dealing with brutal reality was a crucial part of success and helped test / fortify my resilience and growth mindset.
The last venture Zveetz had a regenerative aspect with a mission to make a dent against sugar pollution and its consequences to people and planet. Working cross functionally with a stellar team of individuals including food and behavioural scientists to deliver an impactful value proposition was highly rewarding. The business model was multifaceted with transactional, subscription and asymmetrical revenue streams. We were able to move the needle on sugar reduction and enabled people to be more sugar smart, thereby hitting multiple impact and revenue KPI’s.
Previously to that, I had the privilege of deep diving into the world of AI, machine learning &amp; ontologies to build a recommendation engine SaaS for the e-commerce sector, although there were multiple future use cases for the technology. This immersion and venture was very challenging for multiple reasons but ultimately the outcomes were net positive, so the juice was worth the squeeze.
hankfully, I have been able to transition into the role of an Innovation Director and apply skills / experience to provide consultation across the Oxford Innovation ecosystem to various stakeholders.&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Performed 96 one to one business support sessions and workshops for students, faculty, startup and SMEs teams.</li>
