Omschrijving

Qualified accountant and commercially astute professional with over 10 years of experience in strategic planning, finance, budgeting and analytics in the advertising, media production, content distribution and retail industries.

I have worked in research and media agencies with a wide range of clients and the finance and commercial divisions at major studios and broadcasters, across UK, US and the majority of European territories. This has enabled me to gain a wide set of skills and the ability to quickly adapt to new markets and changing business priorities.

My areas of expertise extend to content production accounting, building planning and budgeting processes, ensuring financial and customer KPI targets are achieved, utilising market intelligence and customer research data to draw focused and actionable insights to optimise marketing support plans and seeking out and delivering partnerships that enable customer growth.
