Tell us a little about what you do at Gill.

I’m the digital and social marketing specialist. My role is to turn what we do into content people actually want to see. I'm always looking to develop the methods and channels we use.

What excites you most about Gill and your role here?

Getting to be creative and learn at the same time. Every product and industry is a new story, and I have to properly understand it before I can make it interesting. That’s the best bit!

I’m also excited to see how far AI takes us in the future too!

What interests you most about the industry?

The technology behind the products and the variety of industries is what interests me. It’s been a breath of fresh air to join a company constantly looking to evolve, with products across 150+ countries, from Formula One to farming.

Who has inspired you in your career and what did you learn?

I learned a lot from my previous manager, but the one that stuck with me was the 80:20 rule. Learning how to identify and prioritise high-impact tasks to help with productivity. That's something I'll continue to use throughout my career.

Tell us something about yourself that might surprise us.

Aside from football, NFL, Formula 1, cricket and ice hockey, I enjoy photography. My partner introduced me to it when we first met and I’ve loved it since, Fujifilm is my go-to.
