Show profile Hide profileI'm a Creative Director and digital entrepreneur experienced in media, brand strategy, building startups, sustainability and technology. Over the last 15 years I've lived and worked in some the world's major cities including London, New York, Singapore, Shanghai, Beijing and Tokyo. I found my way to the digital innovation space after spending the early part of my career bridging the digital divided as a globally awarded Executive Creative Director & Innovation Officer for some of the worlds leading marketing communication companies namely BBDO, AKQA, Leo Burnett. I've also sat on the executive advisory board for Omnicom Group across Asia to develop digital integration strategies for their clients and network.
I've been awarded over 20 International awards for creativity, strategy and effectiveness that include shows like Cannes Cyber, One Show, John Caples and the Asia Spikes. Most recently I won a prestigious gold in the mobile category at Cannes in 2013.
In 2010 I co-founded of Newton Circus (newton-circus.com) in Singapore. A business innovation company inventing digital communities and services designed to make urban and rural environments more livable, competitive, and sustainable. Examples include: Silverline defining the future of mobile media, community, security and health for Seniors, openDOOR leveraging mobile technology to provide work for the under-employed and Urban Prototyping (UP) a platform for crowd-sourcing technology and data-enabled innovations for Start-ups, MNCs and Government Agencies. Newton Circus mantra is that doing good is good business.
In 2012 I returned to South Africa and based myself in Cape Town with my young family and consulted with NATIVE VML to develop their new strategic and creative offering to market and restructured of their creative and strategic departments. Post that I set up ZAlution.co.za an Innovation Consultancy that co-discovers and co-creates new digital products and services that help businesses and communities grow in SA. Most recently I co-founded OurHood.co.za, a private social network that makes South African neighborhoods safer and more connected.
I believe in a collaborative process of Co-Exploration, Co-Discovery and Co-Creation that unlocks human value and creates purposeful work that lives in people's lives.
