Business development, creative production, and a hands-on approach to AI. After about twenty years of building relationships and running my own creative business, I'm looking for my next role.
I've spent about fifteen years in sales and business development. Six were at Johnson & Johnson, selling surgical devices across London hospitals on a £2.4m territory, consistently in the top five of around thirty UK Territory Managers.
Running my own company I generated over £100k of new business a year through my own outreach and pitching, and later built a BD function from scratch at a precision optics manufacturer, Pipedrive CRM and all.
What I'm really good at, underneath all of it, is people: building trust, listening properly, and staying with something through a long and complex sale.
I ran my own video production company, Videobop, for ten years, working with the NHS, Macmillan, the BBC, Age UK, Stem4, councils and plenty of brands.
The work ran from documentary and animation to social and events. I won preferred-supplier status with Macmillan, regularly beat London agencies to pitches, and turned over six figures a year.
I'm good at finding the human angle and making something that connects, and I made it all happen, from the first pitch through to directing the shoot and the final edit.
See my video workI use AI every day, across all of my work. It helps me get up to speed on a new sector fast, structure research and proposals, and draft and iterate quickly.
It also speeds up the routine parts of production, which means quicker turnarounds and more time for the thinking and the relationships that actually matter.
I'm hands-on with the tools, I keep what's useful and drop what isn't, and I'm genuinely interested in using it to do better, faster and more interesting work.
I'm very open to exploring new roles where I can add value and continue to grow.
