I've been building brands for 15 years and heavily involved in digital and social media for as long as they've been around.

I've launched and exited a successful brand agency, built numerous digital products and now my focus is on new technologies, start ups, mobile and with Juice particularly I get up in the morning thinking about mhealth and wellbeing applications.

I'm an associate director of Sherpa, a North East based consultancy that has raised over £4m in finance for start up and growth businesses in the last 3 years. I like doers, talkers and walkers, not so much!
