When I’m not in board meetings, supporting management teams in corporate development, or handling communications for publicly listed companies, I run a presentation agency through my management consulting and communications firm.

I specialize in updating existing PowerPoint presentations or creating new ones to ensure they align with the company’s brand, communication goals, and key messages.
