The annual WTM London event returns to Excel London on 4-6 November, 2025.
He is an accomplished business leader, having worked in the media and events industries in a variety of sectors over the past 15 years.
He has held several senior roles including as Head of Content, Commercial Director and Event Director, with experience of launching and running events across Europe, North America and South America.
He joins WTM London after almost five years at event specialist Intelligence Squared and, before that, as Event Director at Centaur Media.
