  3. Launch

    Go live with tracking verified first, then optimise campaigns every week.

  4. Grow

    Monthly and quarterly reviews that show what changed, why, and where the next gains are.

About me

I've built my career on the platform and AdTech side of digital advertising, so I understand how ad systems work and what brands need from them.

Today I lead ad operations and digital media across the APAC and MENA regions, managing a team and senior client relationships across social, programmatic and CTV.

Alongside my role, I work with a select group of brands, founders and agencies on marketing strategy and growth.
