A startup of just a few years old, we’re on a journey from tens of clients to thousands of clients. I work across everything in marketing (and sometimes other areas, too) to help us get there faster.
MARKETING LEAD

As Futureplay‘s first dedicated marketing hire, I helped grow our marketing team from one (me) to six.
I handled a broad spectrum of marketing activities for a wide range of audiences on both new and existing titles, as well as for the company brand.
Futureplay’s rapid growth saw it acquired by mobile gaming giants Plarium.

Too Good To Go is now live in 15 countries with over 1000 employees, and has saved more than 100 million meals from going to waste.
