💡 Media Buyer & Advertising Specialist focused on Creative Testing 🎯 Executive Leader in Social Impact & Strategic Program Delivery | Former Head of Business Integration, Acting CTO & PMO Lead at YES | Ex-Senior Program Manager in multiple sectors including Financial Services I'm a media buyer and advertising specialist who does what 99% of agencies and buyers won’t: focus obsessively on creative testing. In today’s fast-evolving advertising platforms, creative—not targeting—is what drives performance. My approach is data-driven, results-focused, and rooted in letting the market speak.
