Helping you succeed in tomorrow's world

I enjoy supporting clients in leveraging the opportunities arising from digital transformation in consumer-facing product categories, such as the shift from bricks-and-mortar retail to 'e-tail' and the rise of direct-to-consumer and online marketplace distribution channels.

I have a keen interest in decarbonisation and assist clients with collaborations and projects aimed at achieving environmental objectives, such as meeting minimum low-carbon targets or developing low-carbon technologies, ensuring these initiatives comply with competition law.
