When not working hard he enjoys the occasional festival and pointing his skis straight down a fresh powder slope.

After agency life I was keen to do something that was more centred on client strategy and value recognising that agencies tended to sell what was required to keep all those people busy, and so began Atmosphere.

Early 2012 together with a handful of leading lights in strategy and digital we decided to evolve Atmosphere into its current form and positioning pitched at the sharp end of business transformation – complete with a digital twist. My role has been instrumental in evolving Atmosphere into a partner orientated consultancy practice .. our own future is a work in progress and nothing less than extremely exciting.
