About me

I build modern marketing engines — the kind that scale brands, simplify complexity, and create measurable commercial growth.

With 20+ years across travel tech, B2B SaaS, hospitality, retail, and consumer brands in EMEA and Asia, I've learned one truth:

The best marketing leaders today sit at the intersection of brand strategy, storytelling, data, and AI.

That’s where I operate.

I also write The Marketing Reality Check, a weekly newsletter on AI in marketing, and am a published co-author of Made With ToughLove.

Thinking

The Marketing Reality Check

I write about where marketing is actually heading — especially where AI is changing the rules faster than most teams can keep up.
Less hype. More reality. Start here.

The AI Brand Visibility Myth: Why AI doesn’t really “rank” brands and what actually determines who appears in AI answers.

The AI Metrics Illusion: Why most teams measure AI activity, not AI impact, and what that means for marketing attribution.

The AI Trust Gap: Why AI makes it easier to scale content and campaigns, but harder to see when audience trust is quietly eroding.

The AI ROI Blind Spot: the space between what AI marketing costs and what any team can prove it delivered.
