My aim is to assist others in creating new narratives, to create compelling, transformational experiences, communicating ideas, products and services; building individual and collective cultures for business and leisure. Driven to refine existing or prospective duties as a continuum for growth to make events and creative sector experiences successful, repeatable and memorable.
The approach I take is to remain enthusiastic, professional with a methodical and analytical balance, provide attention to detail with critical thinking, embody aspirational commitment with integrity, demonstrate resourcefulness and innovative techniques as a team player, express an articulate flair with an altruistic vision, remain introspective and congruent while out-going with the ability to clearly communicate and delegate interdisciplinary projects.
In summary, I regard myself as a super searcher, that is, one who analyses information to leverage existing benchmarks and systems (what is possible and what has been done); then developing methods which complement: achieving better results. Analysing, forecasting and acting upon the creative and competitive advantages of ideas, making them a reality. Fluent in English.
