SaaS founder turned AI governance professional.
I've spent 16 years building and running businesses that span SaaS, agencies and events marketing. I've adopted the roles of customer success & CX, account management, business development, marketing, branding and product management. As a BSI certified AI Management Systems Practitioner, I'm now looking to bring that experience into the AI industry, alongside my growing specialism in AI governance and ISO/IEC 42001.

I ran Infinite Visions for just over a year together. It was a creative agency specialising in branding. We won a regional startup award and worked with clients from all over the world on various fascinating and fun projects. Despite our love for brand strategy, we decided to put Infinite Visions on hold when my business partner and I received investment for Quuu.co - an exciting tech startup that we had been working on in our spare time.

AcquiredPokerFacePR
Founder
After university, I completed a Public Affairs internship with Grayling (part of WPP Group) before launching PokerFacePR, a digital public relations agency for professional poker players. Entirely self-taught, I grew the business to become the second-largest agency in its niche, representing two World Champions alongside a number of prominent online personalities and professional players. I subsequently sold the company to one of my Swiss clients. This experience gave me an early grounding in business development, client relationships and building a service from the ground up.

People
For me, people are what matter most. I am a deeply people-centric person who values getting to know everyone that I am fortunate enough to meet. It's why I have always loved being a manager. Understanding my team's needs, their personalities and learning what makes THEM tick, is something that I will always enjoy. At the end of the day, people matter more than anything. So good communication is a skill that I value highly.
