ESGDigitalisationIn a crowded market, trust is the new currency. I translate corporate goals, tech shifts and ESG requirements into a clear marketing position. Linking business purpose with market context, I create the narrative foundation for your communication.
Strategy needs a voice. I translate your positioning into a compelling narrative and visual identity. Whether through film, motion design, or campaigns, I push the boundaries of storytelling to influence how your audience feels about your business.
High-stakes situations require business literacy. I produce the heavy-lifting assets that drive financial decisions. I transform dry data into compliant, and visually appealing documents like ESG reports or pitch decks that convince investors, auditors, and key clients.
Marketing and content operations need to scale responsibly. I integrate AI into workflows to increase speed, consistency and decision quality without compromising governance – working within EU/UK frameworks to ensure data protection and transparency.
Let’s discuss how I can support your business.

My working life began in the City of London at the dawn of digitalisation. Rolling out Cantor Fitzgerald’s first electronic bond trading platform onto institutional floors like Deutsche Bank, JPMorgan, and Citigroup across Europe and the UK taught me the raw mechanics of finance: pace, diligence, compliance but most of all the energy and support of the people that you learn to rely on.
Moving from high-frequency to high-stakes. A decade with sustainable asset managers like Aquila Capital, I developed narratives in an environment shaped by regulation and long investment horizons for over 1,000 BaFin-compliant publications in solar, wind and infrastructure.
In 2019, I entered the "Wild West." Web3 and digital assets were emerging industries searching for a language and a seat at the regulatory table. I collaborated with ventures and ecosystem partners across the EU and UK and represented the sector in government-led industry initiatives at Westminster Parliament.
My work has never been confined to one context. While London shaped much of my professional foundation and perspective, living and working in Switzerland, Spain and the French Caribbean changed how I read cultural nuance and stakeholder dynamics. In parallel, I built a practice as an abstract figurative painter and exhibited across galleries and curated shows. Painting has since become part of how I think and who I am.
Today, I run Octopus Media, helping clients navigate transformation through strategy, communication and narratives that resonate.
Working across regulated industries and corporate communications has shaped my approach to accuracy, evidence and accountability. I bring that perspective to sustainability claims and AI-supported content, informed by relevant EU requirements, including EmpCo and the EU AI Act.
That means considering the evidence and scope behind environmental claims, assessing when AI disclosure is required, and retaining human judgement throughout the editorial process.
