I think most people would say that I am always there to help, in any situation.
It has been challenging and exciting at the same time. I have been fortunate to have worked with some great minds in our industry and beyond, and as I head into another new challenge now, as the new managing director at UM South Africa, I am even more excited for the things to come.
Reading, seeing new talent come into our industry and growing, good football banter and great music.
It is ever-changing, challenging and you learn something new every day.
Solving problems, lots of meetings and exploring new ideas.
Our industry-leading tools, research and technology that helps us deliver better science and better art to drive better outcomes for our client.

Data, big data, more data and how do we use all this data.
I probably have some of my best ideas in the gym.
I unfortunately don’t have one, but certainly watching others bringing out their party tricks is entertaining enough!
A technophile.
Lots of apps that I probably don’t use.
Perseverance and drive are key to making it in this industry. Also, find your voice.
There will be lots of discouraging moments, but as soon as you realise you are not saving lives, you will live to fight another day.Keep pushing through and put in the work.
