My Brand Engagements
What I Do, Why I Do It
I remember sitting there as a very young kid, watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Montreal, completely awed by size, scope, and scale of staging an event that is mostly sport, part politics, and all business. From that moment forward, I have developed an unrivaled passion for sport and global events, and have become an incurable Olympic history addict with marketing and communication experience. From its origins and evolution to marketing, strategy, and sponsorship activation, I offer insight into the business and finance of the Olympic Games and large-scale global events.
