I am fascinated by the translation of human experience into made things: the decisions, instincts and unspoken beliefs that turn an idea into something another person can feel. I have spent my working life close to that process, and I have become just as interested in the beliefs that shape it as in the techniques that carry it out.

My curiosity runs well beyond the industry I work in. I read widely in philosophy, theology and the history of ideas, and I am drawn to the unexamined commitments that organisations, disciplines and technologies quietly carry: what they assume about value, about minds, and about what a good outcome looks like. My published research has applied Charles Taylor’s social imaginary to creative work, and Judea Pearl’s causal reasoning to the logic of the edit. AI is one place where those questions are currently being asked loudly, but it is far from the only one.

Professionally, I am UK Head of Post Production and a member of the UK Management Board at WPP Production, and a Fellow of the Chartered Management Institute. I hold a first-class degree from Ravensbourne, where I now sit on the Industry Advisory Board for Film, TV and Media, and completed my executive education at Imperial College Business School with distinction, as well as holding associate membership of the British Film Editors and the Institution of Engineering and Technology. 

I am always glad of conversations that cross the boundaries between creative practice, philosophy and leadership.
