I love working with founders who have great ideas but need help making them real. Bonus points if they're trying to make the world a bit better! I design and run community and event experiences that combine human connection with clear structure. My background in digital marketing means I think in audiences, funnels, and feedback loops, while my community work keeps the focus on trust, belonging, and participation. I’m comfortable taking an idea from a blank page to a live, working community. Practically, that looks like defining the community value proposition, designing onboarding and engagement flows, setting up the right platforms and tools, planning and delivering events, moderating conversations, and tracking what’s actually working. I use simple systems (Notion, CRMs, community platforms, analytics dashboards) to keep things organised and measurable, without over-engineering the experience. Proven experience delivering executive-level communities and events, coordinating speakers and partners, shaping content and programming, and putting the systems in place that allow communities to grow without losing depth, trust, or soul.

AI-powered Social Media & Community Strategist with 7+ years of experience helping global brands across the U.S. and Europe. I’ve worked with companies like Grifols, L’Oréal, Red Bull, and Pawland, turning conversations into insights and insights into strategies that boost engagement, reputation, and growth. Looking for someone who can turn data into engagement and insights into growth? That’s my zone. With 7+ years of experience across the U.S. and Europe, I’ve partnered with Fortune 500 companies, global agencies, and fast-growing startups to decode conversations in multiple languages and markets, and transform them into strategies that deliver measurable impact. Some highlights: Healthcare & Pharma → Social listening and competitive intelligence for Grifols, Roche, Abbott, Bio-Rad, Ortho Clinical, providing executives with clear market insights and patient-centric communication strategies. Consumer Goods & Beauty → Consumer verbatim analysis and influencer campaign insights for L’Oréal (Fragrance Division), shaping brand narratives that resonated across international audiences. Wine & Spirits (World’s 2nd largest seller) → Post-COVID consumption analysis, combining quantitative & qualitative evidence to challenge traditional “On Trade First” strategies. Lifestyle & Entertainment → Social activation for Red Bull’s street culture initiatives, amplifying authentic voices within global dance communities. Pet Care → Digital community management for Pawland (UAE), achieving a +35% increase in engagement and faster response times, building stronger trust with pet owners. My toolkit blends AI-powered analytics (Brandwatch, Sprinklr, Meltwater, Talkwalker, BuzzSumo, HubSpot) with data visualization (Power BI) and sharp storytelling. What makes me different is my ability to merge advanced analytics with emotional intelligence—because numbers tell you what’s happening, but empathy explains why it matters. 👉 If you want a strategist who can combine analytics + creativity + empathy to build lasting community trust and brand growth, let’s connect.

Senior Product Owner and Business Change Lead (SAFe 6.0 certified) with 12 years delivering digital transformation programmes across energy, healthcare, and financial services. £5M+ in operational savings delivered; 15+ transformation projects at 98% on-time/on-budget. I take ambiguous business problems — a legacy system nobody trusts, a backlog nobody's prioritized, a change initiative stalling on stakeholder buy-in — and turn them into a working roadmap, a prioritized backlog, and a delivery team that actually ships. Recent work: • Led product discovery with 15+ stakeholders (including regulators) at National Energy System Operator, delivering a £2M+ solution roadmap and managing a 50+ story backlog in JIRA at 95% sprint completion. • Ran change management across 100+ stakeholders at National Grid ESO, hitting 92% employee engagement and preventing £500K+ in delay costs through early risk assessment. • Restructured a PMO at Leeds Credit Union, cutting project approval time from 4 weeks to 10 days. • Delivered a healthcare digital transformation (pharmacy operations) that cut expired-stock waste 60% and patient wait times 35%. Certifications: SAFe 6.0 Product Owner/Product Manager (POPM), BCS Foundation in Business Analysis, Certified Scrum Master. Tools: JIRA, Confluence, Salesforce (Health Cloud, Service Cloud), SQL, Power BI, Balsamiq, Visio, UML/BPMN. If your project needs someone who can run discovery, write the requirements, manage the backlog, AND get skeptical stakeholders on board — that's the gap I fill. Message me with what you're working through and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
