I am a consultant providing strategic and commercial advice to businesses looking for brand strategy, brand positioning, mentoring, creative thinking and design management in a global context.
I have extensive experience in business development, growth and international expansion, having founded my own award-winning design consultancy, Creative Action with offices in the UK, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Through my experience in the Middle East, I founded The Qatar Consultancy specifically to support UK businesses looking to do business in Qatar.
I am also the founder of Silverstein Locations, representing a number of high end unique properties to producers and photographers internationally.
I provide commercial, brand and creative mentoring to a number of start-ups and in 2016 I started working with 2 local community projects Champions and New Leaf College, both providing mentoring, support and advice to young people in Hertfordshire. I find this work very rewarding and it’s good to be able to give something back to my community.
