Bio
Ruth Leonard
I would class Anna as one of our industry's great ambassadors - not only a brilliant networker, but also extremely likeable. We've worked together in different guises - during my time as licensor, licensee and latterly PR, and Anna has always been able to help, problem solve or negotiate a way of making things happen. Every brand needs a champion and Anna is simply that. Trustworthy and personable she brings people and companies together to meet common goals and her energy for a project is infectious. I would say her collaborative style to exceeding her own goals, is often rare in a sales person of her calibre but she will approach a project or deal always having done her in-depth homework on what will make it work for all parties. I would always work with Anna when having the chance and with her on the team you can be sure of robust results.

I have worked with Anna for many years, both at ITV and Global Radio. I introduced her into licensing 5/6 years ago and wasn’t sure how she would make the transition from being in radio for over 20 years into licensing, but I need not have worried, as she is such a fantastic sales person she took to it like a duck to water. She is creative, tenacious and such a positive person, determined to deliver, no stone is ever left unturned. I am so pleased the gamble paid off for both Anna making the move into licensing and being successful and for the licensing industry having got fresh, new talent into the business. Anna is well and truly established in this business now and is well known in the Licensing industry with both licensees and retailers. She is a real credit to ITV’s CP business.
