My strengths are discovering and leveraging new technologies and techniques and using them to resolve problems or turn great ideas into reality. With more than 20-years international experience working with both startups and large organisations I've a variety of great tools in my bag; these include digital development, organisational design, business process management, software design, a good sense of humour and a strong sense of humility.
I've lead teams across Europe, the US, Asia and the Middle East. I worked with the New York Times International as their IT Director and also headed up an intrapreneurial Innovation & Development Lab funded by Google. Prior to moving to France I worked for Ziff-Davis APN in Australia and for Future Publishing in the UK.
I'm trilingual - I speak English, French and Geek :) - naturally pragmatic, practical, curious and love discovering new corners of the world with my backpack whilst meeting people and exploring cultures. I thrive in new environments and periods of change that feed my constant desire to learn and evolve and I regularly work with companies and accelerators in Estonia - the most digitally advanced nation on earth.
I created CinqC having seen that the deep disruption the media industry has experienced has provided me with insight, resilience and agility now needed in many other sectors. CinqC's purpose is to provide this expertise as a service to the start-ups, large organisations, innovation labs and incubators looking to evolve, adapt and needing to make it work in our ever-changing world.
I am also an external assessor for the Google News Innovation fund, Chairwoman of the US-board of APOPO HeroRats (we trains rats to save lives!) and am frequently invited to emcee, present keynotes and moderate at global and online tech and innovation events in both English and French.

Being competitive means taking more risks in increasingly complex situations - the chance of errors and dead-ends is higher than ever, so teams and staff need to be comfortable making mistakes.
