United Kingdom - London, England

Venture Partner at tech investor Northzone, Non Executive Director, adviser and investor in numerous fast-growing technology businesses and a member of the British Museum's digital advisory board.

I am also the former Vice Chair of Unicef UK, Chair of The Drum, CEO and Founder of POSSIBLE, WPP’s largest global digital agency and the former Chair of the BIMA, the industry body for everyone working in digital Britain.

I discovered digital media while studying Drama at the University of Manchester. After graduating I worked for the BBC, Universal Music and United News and Media before Co-founding global digital agency Fortune Cookie in 1997. I secured venture capital funding and grew the business across three continents before exiting to WPP in 2012.

For two years I served on the Board of EPiServer – the world’s fastest growing content management and community platform until its sale to investment bank, IK Partners. I also served on the board of ActiveStandards until its merger with CrownPeak and raising of $50 Million from venture capital firm K1 to become the world's leading cloud-based digital experience management company.

I have been lucky enough to have been listed in the Wired Top 100; rated the UK's second most influential person in digital by Econsultancy; inducted into the British Digital Hall of Fame and most recently, Business Insider ranked me as one of the UK's coolest tech VC's.
