Wendy Thompson
Head of Marketing in the United Kingdom
I'm passionate about life, healthcare, technology, business, marketing, public relations, food, wine, travel and good clean fun... in no particular order!!
I took a short career break in March 2020 to support my mother who has advanced dementia. I achieved my objective to secure funding for her care and during lockdown I found an unexpected connection to her through acrylic painting over Skype. Our art even went viral globally on social media. Let me know if you’d like to know more! I am now keen to start a new role. I am a Chartered Marketer and professional communicator with more than 20 years’ marketing, communications and project management experience working within business services, healthcare, media, manufacturing, hospitality, retail and IT/high tech sectors. Results-driven, I am experienced in defining business, marketing and communications strategies, working as part of international teams, managing agencies, controlling budgets and managing projects, programmes or campaigns from planning through to implementation and evaluation. Additionally, I am a confident presenter, with experience in coaching others and encouraging personal development.
