Speaker Bio

30+ years of experience in leadership roles in corporate communications and PR, within international and national groups of companies in the telecoms, media and technology industries. Skilled in media relations, crisis management, PR, strategic corporate communications planning and digital media. Data driven, he is noted for his focus on increasing the ROI for each publicity project, event or activity undertaken. The secret to his success, starts with 'team' and ends with (hard) 'work': his rise from journalist all the way through to director of corporate communications, has granted him a robust network of professional contacts across fellow comms and PR associates and colleagues, as well as across press, government institutions, business investors, digital influencers and think tanks. An entrepreneur at heart he strives to be surrounded by like minded people who look for solutions. He believes that corporate communications and PR should be simple, clever and heart reaching and he founded The Kompany, a communications and PR agency to deliver on that.
