BIO
Pronouns: He / Him
Current role: Director at a Marketing Agency / Consultancy
Current industry: Marketing
I run my own business called Compadre which provides companies a virtual marketing department.
We work with small to medium sized businesses which is really cool, most of whom are NZ owned, and from a wide variety of industries.
Before that I did around 15 years working in house at some pretty big NZ and Global companies (Telecom/Spark, O2, Betfair, Microsoft and BP) generally doing 'marketing management'. That means I'd be in charge of the marketing for a segment of business - develop a plan, research insights into customers, work with agencies to develop ad campaigns etc etc.
It's fun, I love the breadth of those roles.
