MY ECOMMERCE BACKGROUND
Building ecommerce brands for 20+ yearsWearing the hats of employee, director, ecommerce business owner & consultant.
Finding my feet at a startup online retailer way back in 1996. When animated gifs first roamed the ‘net and web browsers were at the version 1.0 stage.
4 years on, I moved on to Priceline.com taking the role of European Marketing Director. Learning sustainable growth at a market innovator who are now the world’s largest travel company.
In 2004 I launched my own ecommerce business. From scratch and bootstrapped. Doing the things you’ve done. Balancing time and energy marketing my business and running my business.
For the past 10 years my time has been dedicated to my ecommerce consulting business, working alongside ambitious ecommerce brands, direct-to-consumer & retailers, to review, plan and optimise the steps towards building an ecommerce brand for the long haul.
“one of today’s leaders in Conversion Rate Optimization, people who don’t just talk the talk but put their theories to the test on a daily basis.”
