I have a passion for breaking down complex technical concepts and presenting them in an understandable format to various audiences. I have a proven track record in finding and supporting talented individuals to create new products and communicate about them effectively. I am excited about the potential of Machine Learning/AI in the creation and development space, and I work closely with different parts of the company to integrate these technologies into our work. I have been working across organisations and locales for over 15 years, leading teams and communicating across departments in the US, UK, China and India.
