I'm a communicator - I help organisations with their messaging and reputation management.

I founded Portman Communications GmbH in 2021, it's a specialist reputation management agency that produces multimedia content and manages internal and external communications.

Before Portman I was a financial journalist working for newspapers, for Reuters and at the BBC. I came to Switzerland to work for the World Economic Forum and stayed. I've experienced life at the International Olympic Committee, Novartis, EuroChem, Vifor Pharma, and ABB.

Outside work I can usually be found on the water. I was a member of the Great Britain kayaking team for more than 10 years. I have a long track record in sports administration and sports event organisation both in the UK and in Switzerland.

And in 2019 I rowed across the Atlantic as part of Team Margot Atlantic Rowers to raise awareness of the Global Stem Cell and Bone Marrow Register.
