Beyond business, you’ll find him adventuring with his two young kids, Willow and River, his Labrador, and his wife – whether that’s on the beaches and forests of Portugal or deep in the Kent countryside.
Most chaotic/random thing on your desk right now?
A steady stream of “treasures” from my three-year-old son River – currently dinosaurs and an ever-growing collection of random gems he insists I need while I’m on calls. My desk’s basically become part workspace, part museum.
If your vibe at work had a soundtrack, what song is track #1?
Honestly, most of my day is on calls so there’s not much time for music. If I am listening to something, it’s usually a podcast – typically business, growth or something that challenges how I’m thinking.
If you had a superpower for work, what would it be?
Already got one – the stack of AI tools we use across the agency, fully baked into how I work day-to-day. Makes moving faster (and smarter) a lot easier!
