My online career started in 1998, with a role that combined web development and software promotion, putting me in an ideal position to learn SEO. After moving to Russia in 2003, to set up my own agency, I worked with leading gaming and retail brands wanting to break into that market.

In 2010 I took a position as Head of Digital at Rose PR (Moscow), to learn how digital PR and SEO/SEM could work together. During this time I also got involved in the Russian digital start-up community; working with Yandex, the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and the US State Department.

On my return to the UK in 2011, I built and led SEO and Content Marketing departments at Arena Media, Havas and Dentsu (annual rev. $6bn)

In 2014, I became the SEO lead at Vodafone Group (annual rev. £41bn), standardising and improving search across all 22 international markets.

You can can find me speaking on the topic of mobile SEO, technical SEO and website performance. Recently I've been heavily involved in machine learning (ML) projects. I'm a judge for the UK and EU Search Awards and keen supporter of Prince's Trust, through charity cycle rides.
