About Emmanuel

I am a Project Manager and Operations professional with 8+ years of experience delivering complex programmes, commercial campaigns and large-scale events across media, advertising and digital platforms.

I help businesses and teams get things done properly. Whether that is managing a portfolio of concurrent projects, building the processes and workflows that make delivery scalable, coordinating cross-functional teams across multiple territories, or producing high-impact brand activations from concept through to execution, I bring structure, clarity and energy to everything I take on.

My background spans some of the UK's leading media brands, global advertising agencies and an international events business I co-founded, which has delivered 60+ experiences across 12+ cities with partners including Red Bull, YouTube, Apple Music, Sony and the Mayor of London.

I am PRINCE2 certified, Agile trained and comfortable working across a wide range of tools including ClickUp, JIRA, Asana and MS Project. I adapt quickly to new environments, hit the ground running and work well with teams at every level from on the ground operations through to senior leadership and C-suite stakeholders.

If you need someone to bring order to complexity, drive delivery with commercial awareness and get your project or programme over the line, I would love to hear from you.
