As Founder & CEO of Northbank Talent Management, I draw on 30 years’ experience of brokering IP rights deals (brand partnerships, film & TV, corporate, live, books) to devise and oversee the execution of content monetisation strategies for Northbank’s roster of creators, broadcasters, writers and speakers, including modelling and sourcing capital to back creator businesses, and advising selected VCs and other investors on capital allocation in the new media landscape.

Outside of work, I have extensive experience as a non-executive director, charity ambassador and arts trustee, currently serving on the board, advisory or development board of the leading Westminster think tank Bright Blue, The Entrepreneurs’ Network, producing cutting-edge research into the best policies to support entrepreneurship; the Buxton International Festival; Tempus Novo, a charity which works with employers to increase the employment rate amongst former prisoners; and the award-winning Finborough Theatre.
