Career & Background

What inspired you to do what you are doing now?

I love building high performing teams and tackling the challenges of growing out a new market. In my current role I get to enjoy some of the best aspects of building a startup with the support of an established, global company.

What was your journey and where are you headed in your career right now?

I started my career in digital at a London based tech incubator and since then I’ve worked both agency side and within startups designing and implementing growth strategies. Prior to starting at SoPost, I was General Manager at Vivo, a local digital agency that builds custom digital products for clients like National Storage, Diabetes Australia, UQ, QUT, Poolwerx, Jetts Gyms and Spicers Retreats. In that time, I was also the first Brisbane Chapter Director for Interactive Minds. Now at SoPost, I’m heading up our operation in Australia as we start to scale up in APAC and growing our client base with brand partners like Aesop, Tom Ford, Clinique, Lancôme and L’Occitane, among others.
