Unfortunately an “older before his time” veteran in the field of geekiness and all things “strategy”; factor in that when I was born the obstetrician proclaimed I had an “old soul”. Since I am also cursed with a pinch of creativity and a lot of restlessness, marcomms won me over a librarian’s career. I entered specialised international consumer research a boy and many years and 33 countries later I left it man enough to join the exciting world of  advertising. Internally they call me “your excellence”, not because of illusions of grandeur but rather because my role is to be the ambassador of both the brand as well as the consumer, since my thinking and creative direction starts here. That is why I take things really personally – I care about designing strategy that will be the most effective and rewarding to the client’s objectives, always with a clear sense of long term aspirations. But above all I am a father of a 2 year old daughter, who is the boss of me...
