Bio
GUY CHESTON
Fiona project managed several high profile storewide promotions for Harrods. It was a tricky role, with so many stakeholders to please. She demonstrated an amazing ability to multi-task, clearly communicate both internally and externally, manage both operational and commercial challenges with aplomb and no drama. Above all, she was integral to the success of the promotions - so much so she was awarded a highly coveted "Harrods Award for Excellence" for her leadership, creativity, energy and commitment....everyone loved working with her too !
Vanessa Andreis
Working with Fiona on several projects such as the Harrods partnership to promote Great Gatsby was an absolute pleasure. Her positive and can-do attitude together with her experience, creativity and team work ensured that we delivered an original multi-platform partnership, which was fully integrated within the Great Gatsby marketing campaign. I cannot recommend Fiona enough and sincerely hope we will continue to work together on future projects.
