Bio

I have enjoyed over 20 years in high profile leadership roles and as an award-winning content producer and commissioner. I am passionate about recognising and helping develop talented people and ideas. I am known for my collaborative skills and I have extensive contacts across music, the creative industries, trade bodies and politics. I have strong leadership, strategic, editorial and commercial skills. Currently I am responsible for the planning & delivery of the BBC's Centenary in 2022. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to celebrate the unique creative brilliance of the UK. At the BBC I have led a number of creative cross-platform teams including BBC Music, BBC Radio 6 Music, the BBC’s coverage of Glastonbury Festival, the One Love Manchester Concert in 2017 & the emerging talent platform, BBC Music Introducing. At the ABC in Sydney, I helped develop Digital Radio brands and developed a taste for living and working abroad. Music has always been my great passion.
