We are living through a period of unprecedented social unrest. This is the time for leaders to understand that they can no longer be focused merely on results, we must be the champions of positive societal change. That will mean uncomfortable conversations, leading with integrity and embracing real inclusion while still being our authentic and true selves. Not an easy ask but one that I am committed to striving towards every single day.
I spent 5 years client side working at T-Mobile, Vodafone and L'Oreal, where I was responsible for accelerating marketing effectiveness, leading integrated digital marketing strategies, creating multi-channel platforms and media partnerships that spurred revenue growth fostering a culture of accountability.
