From 2004 until joining Kysen I worked in senior positions within the PR industry, including Associate Director in Bell Pottinger's corporate team and as Director of the corporate division at Kinross & Render.

In 1995 I established Freshfield Public Relations,
a PR & marketing consultancy specialising in the professional services sector; I sold the business to the management team via an MBO in 2004.

An economist by training, I previously held senior roles with Laing & Cruickshank Stockbrokers (now part of UBS) and as a Consultant with KPMG Management Consulting.

I am a member of the CIPR and the NUJ.
