My primary source of income is from my life long career with BT. It is a great company to work with and has never let me down with opportunities to develop and change my career/role when I need to. p> I have extensive experience in the online, internet and data communications industry including proposition, launch, in-life management, supplier management, project management and business improvement to ensure delivery against objectives.p |

I am a self-inflicted marketing technologist - I love to use online technology to help others & businesses understand requirements, measure effectiveness and shape future direction. In delivering projects, I can step back to view the big picture, as well as deep-dive to understand & resolve issues.
I’m told my strengths include a straightforward approach to make things easy; methodical & calm to drive results; helpful to others so the whole team wins; passionate and knowledgeable about products & services
I also enjoy helping out others and am pleased to be working with Global Ethics with their online media strategy, a great organisation that has helped change over one million lives to give clean drinking water and better health. Ethical living is in my blood.
I love to travel and try not to visit the same country twice. I am sure my interests came from living in Germany and Cyprus, plus an active time within the Venture Scouts. More recently I have travelled to South America, North Africa and the Far East. I tend to enjoy visiting non-English speaking countries where I can learn about people, culture and food. Asia is my favourite continent. I have been travelling on the Trans-Siberia railway since 1997 and run a successful website about my journeys.
"The World is a book, and only those who do not travel read only one page."
Photography is another passion of mine, especially when travelling. In 2005 I travelled on an 18-day photography assignment for a tour operator across Siberia and spending much of the time in Mongolia and on to China. I belong to a local photography club where I get the chance to see photographs from some talented local people, plus gain experience in the studio.
I have a number of years experience in personal development and leadership through my career with BT and held various positions in Junior Chamber International. I also manage the online marketing for Whitespace Leaders
I am particularly interested in personal productivity and getting the most out of life. I am an active follower of the David Allen methodology "Getting Things Done" and use a software tool "My Life Organised" to keep on top of my busy lifestyle. I aspire and achieve a good life/work balance together with healthy eating. Leaving the car at home and using public transport with about 3-4 miles walking each day keeps me in shape and helps looks after my wellbeing.
To relaxing, I enjoy spending time around London, cooking, visiting local food markets, real ale, taking 'street' photos and enjoying time with family and friends. I also enjoy a digital lifestyle and spend a little too much time editing web pages.
