So, who am I?
Business Leader - Adventurer - Award-Winning Keynote Speaker
I’ve led marketing teams behind some of the world’s most recognizable brands — Uber and Coca-Cola — and at standout European companies like Vinted — Europe’s largest secondhand fashion marketplace — and Innocent, from tiny start up to the #1 juice manufacturer in Europe.
I’m also an adventurer, and spent 2 years cycling 41,000km solo & unsupported around the world, hiked across three continents, and completed the first ever triathlon of an entire country — cycling the length, kayaking the width, and climbing the height, all in one go.
I speak to teams and organisations across industries — helping them unlock growth, navigate change and build resilience. My talks are known for being relatable, honest and entertaining — grounded in real-world lessons from business and adventure.
I’m also proud to be an ambassador for CALM — the Campaign Against Living Miserably — a movement dedicated to preventing suicide and supporting mental health.
If your audience values real-life insight, a touch of humour, and a keynote that sparks genuine action, we’ll get along well.
