Manager, Virtual Product and MTX

Top Management

I’m passionate, dedicated, hard-working, positive, and courageous. I’m a marketing profession- al specializing in strategy, communications, partnerships, athlete management, digital marketing, brand- ing, and leading projects and campaigns with over 10 years of experience.
I’m an imaginative individual whose career focus has always centred on developing teamwork, creativity, and championing for positive, impactful change. I’m observant of others in how they interact and approach situations which helps me respectfully connect with individuals creating great working relations to encourage a strong team effort. Some of my strongest skills are to listen, learn, adapt and move.
Cycling is one of my greatest passions and all of the unique facets of the sport and industry fascinate me. I've raced competitively in DH, XC, CX, BMX and road cycling taking a few regional champ titles along the way but don’t classify myself as a specific type of cyclist, I am a cyclist with a love of the freedom and simplicity that two wheels bring. To be able to combine my educational and career experi- ence whilst utilising my unique learnings from within the roots of the sport makes marketing thereof a natural fit.
