Philosophy

METANOIA

"The journey of changing one's mind, heart, self or way of lifE"

Restriction is the force that leads

to innovation and evolution.

Species evolve to overcome the restrictions of their environment, and humans invent and build to overcome the restrictions of their cultures.

In a world where freedom exists, unquestioned and untested,

everything stagnates. ​

​​There can be no growth

when there is nothing to push against.

Competency

I.   BRAND INNOVATION

BRAND STRATEGIST 

I create a space where you'll always be exposed to new insight, will better understand the future of markets and human behaviour and will develop your companies abilities. As the custodian of a brand's legacy and future, I have played pivotal roles in brand innovation. Brands and products must evolve to stay relevant and resonate with evolving societal trends while maintaining differentiation. 

Create a space where you'll always be exposed to new insight.

ALIGNMENT BUILDER​

Innovation and strategy demand alignment and collaboration across the C-SUITE and all departments.  I excel in fostering organisational cohesion, seamlessly integrating initiatives across departments and stakeholders. From collaborating on growth strategies and data initiatives to engaging HR in talent acquisition, I unite and enable collaboration, ensuring every part contributes to the brand promise.

Unify diverse functions under a cohesive brand vision.

Business & Creativity FUSION

I manage the entire innovation life cycle, from research to strategy, design, branding, implementation and campaigns. I identify new assets, products, and intellectual property within the business and immerse myself in future trends, innovation and consumer behaviour that uncovers unique business opportunities. I lead in-house and external creative departments and direct photoshoots, websites and marketing activities to nurture the brand promise.

II.  BUSINESS INNOVATION

INNOVATION & idea validator

Unlock your full potential - Idea Synthesis - Rapid Learning - Adaptability. I drive the entire innovation lifecycle, from generating worthwhile ideas to testing and validation. I manage innovative projects from beginning to end in fast, transformational environments. This includes aligning reform activities with stakeholders and operations to ensure deliverable outcomes.

WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE SEEKING WON'T COME IN THE FORM YOU'RE EXPECTING.

Futures ANALYSt & RESEARCh

The world is changing rapidly, and disruptive innovations are underway that will radically change how we live and do business. A 3-year strategy is no longer sufficient. You need to look ahead at least 10 years or risk becoming irrelevant. If you are not looking far ahead, you will not see what is coming to derail your business. I draw on two decades of global forecasting expertise, which encompasses consumer behaviour, emerging technology and trends, cultural and generational evolution and insights into premium and luxury markets. I inform ideas and identify critical gaps and opportunities in business.

"Tomorrow belongs to those who hear it coming"
David Bowie

CHANGE AGENT-Transformer-SIMPLIFIER

As a Knowledge Translator and Engagement Manager, I specialise in navigating uncertainty and finding profound growth opportunities. I enhance executive effectiveness by translating ambitious goals into actionable strategies and a compelling vision that your teams can SEE, FEEL, and BELIEVE. With over two decades of experience in FUTURIST THINKING and strategic FORESIGHT, I excel in identifying opportunities and cultivating thought leadership through rigorous research and data visualisation, unlocking your business's true potential.

 "If you can't explain it simply,

you don't understand it well enough"

Albert Einstein

Zombie hunting is one of the most valuable cross-functional activities. I analyse business processes, simplify complex operations, eliminate time wasters, and identify operational misalignment. Cleaning up the clutter and making space for what's next is an invigorating process that brings engagement, energy, and enthusiasm to a business.

III.  CULTURE EVOLUTION

CULTURE BUILDING

Behind every successful business is a strong culture, and that’s what I help my clients build. While each organisation has its unique characteristics, all great cultures share key elements: a unified vision for success and a clear strategy for achieving it. They also have a common set of core priorities that guide decision-making at all levels. I cultivate an inclusive, collaborative environment where ideas flow freely and innovative solutions take shape. Ultimately, it’s about people and processes collaborating to drive measurable and sustainable performance.

Diversity of thought makes us stronger, not weaker. Without diversity, we die off as a species. We can no longer adapt to changes in the environment. We need each other to survive.
