A fundamental part of my strategic role was helping to successfully transition print publications to digital. Led the gating and implementation strategy for a subscription-based 100 year old print magazine. Played a leadership role in navigating the business through the pandemic, including quickly steering large revenue streams from physical face-to-face events to digital. Significant international experience, including leading a team of content marketing managers in Europe, North America and SE Asia. Left after a successful 11 years to focus on the growth of my own business.
