Team Skating Panda

I founded Skating Panda a decade ago, having spent my early career working for multinationals, government organisations and as part of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic bid team. My goal has always been to recruit the best strategists and marketeers possible, so that we can empower our clients to achieve and accelerate real social impact, with a sharp focus on purpose.

When I’m not swimming, running and climbing, you’ll find me baking and being beaten at table tennis by my children.

I have over twenty years of experience in finance roles, across a range of industries such as engineering, communications and marketing, property and design. I have largely worked for SMEs however, it is the small business I love for the pace, collaboration and hands on approach that comes with working with a small, focused team. I am proud to be working for Skating Panda and being part of the journey for positive change.

When I am not focusing on the numbers, I love to spend time with my family. My dog, Lola keeps me fit and takes me running. I love all things Arts but mostly art and music.

Over the past decade I’ve designed and curated long-term sustainability strategies for various businesses. Working as a social impact specialist, my vision has always been to make an impact and real difference in the world. I not only enjoy, but excel at discovering new paths to help organisations translate their work into meaningful actions.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my dog. I’m also trying to go to as many gigs, performances and pubs as I can, while taking in everything London has to offer.

I’ve spent over 20 years leading teams, organisations, and campaigns that create change. My expertise lies in clarifying core strategic thinking – as a ‘truth’ driving cohesion and supporting decision making, as well as informing positioning, culture and communication.

With a background in brand, strategy, and marketing communications, I have operational, consulting, and advisory experience across commercial, public, and NGO sectors - for the last decade with a specific focus on global issues and social impact.

I have a menagerie of dogs, a cat, fish, bees and two children, a misplaced passion for old cars and Arsenal Football Club. And a very long-suffering wife.

I’m a communications professional with over 20 years of experience spanning agency marketing, media, stakeholder engagement, and global campaigns. My career includes working with leading organisations like Save the Children, the London Olympics, Microsoft, Facebook, and Instagram, where I’ve specialised in impactful campaigns on youth wellbeing, online safety, and humanitarian issues.

Outside of work I am kept busy by my two young children and getting away to sunnier climes when possible!

I have spent the last decade delivering marketing & communication campaigns with a digital-first approach and helping clients develop their growth curves. I’m passionate about making a positive impact in the world, with a focus on women’s empowerment and climate action.

Being able to work on campaigns and projects that are fuelled by true purpose helps me grow every day, both personally and professionally.

Outside of work, I love exploring restaurants, travelling to new destinations, and drinking lots and lots and lots of coffee!

I’m a rounded communications consultant with a background in agency marketing, media and comms, stakeholder engagement and project management. I enjoy helping bring simplicity to communications and supporting important organisations maximise the real and positive impact they can bring to the world.

When I’m not working, I’m seeking the next opportunity for a swim, whether that be at Brockwell Lido, Shoreham-by-sea or even better – somewhere to surf!

I am a researcher fascinated by systems of power, love, and conviviality, which I had the privilege of studying through my degrees in Philosophy and Political Economy. I am thrilled to be a part of a passionate team and have the chance to leverage my research expertise and methodologies to make a positive impact on individuals, society, and the environment.

My professional interests spill out into my personal life, where I organise dances, make music, play grassroots football, and campaign for housing rights.

I've started out my career in marketing for a B2B event company. Since then, I’ve moved into roles supporting partnerships and leadership teams at various non-profits. I love working for organisations with a clear purpose that aim to make the world better.

When I’m not at work, you’ll find me spending time with friends, reading, going to gigs, or traveling the world!

I’ve worked in operations and as an executive assistant in a host of industries for the past 15 years. I love being central to a team and using my experience to ensure things are running smoothly. I enjoy working for a purpose-driven organisation; I’m constantly learning and excited to continue driving change that makes a real difference.

When not working, I love to go for drinks and dinners, and you can’t beat a good dance!

I have spent over 25 years working with leadership teams of brands and businesses around the world to define clear organisational visions and strategies to enable them to grow. I am particularly experienced at working with organisations and purpose – from defining and articulating a purpose that the leadership and business can get behind, to helping organisations align their purpose with operations, culture and strategy. I specialise in audience insight development and stakeholder mapping and have been pivotal in building the WeProsper brand for an international women's economic empowerment coalition.

In my spare time I like to hang out with my dog, Biggie, and I keep bees which is a great way to unwind. I also try to swim in the sea regularly, even in the winter, although I always check the SAS app before I go in.

I am an advisor, strategist and futurist in the field of sustainability. My current work is on decision-making for global transformations, and nurturing action on under-served, emerging issues. I have helped leading corporations around the world to be more successful by creating a better future, and provided independent advisory work with the UK Cabinet Office, UNDP, Sustainable Shipping Initiative and more.

I am a widower, with 2 teenagers and a cat. In my wife’s memory, I raise funds to help psychotherapists improve how they use time when working with children and adolescents. For fun, I play tennis, learn piano and talk with friends about the problems in the world over a glass or two.
