Powering the On Demand Food Economy

Experienced multilingual journalist with extensive experience across business and lifestyle publishing.

I particularly enjoy generating original ideas for the magazine and working on bringing them to life, either through commissioning freelance journalists or writing them myself. I have solid experience interviewing high profile people, including business leaders, top chefs and entrepreneurs and writing engaging features.

Currently I work as the editor of Foodservice Consultant magazine at Progressive Content. In the past I have worked on business and lifestyle titles; I have contributed to publications in the UK, Denmark and Spain. I have excellent communication skills and am used to collaborating with colleagues and partners across the world and different time zones.

My competencies also include copy-editing and proof reading, managing people as well as liaising with (internal and external) commercial partners for print and web.

I undertake freelance assignments across the business and travel/food sectors.

Areas of interest are:
Lifestyle: Food and restaurant; chef interviews; travel and culture, especially film and cinema.

Business: Entrepreneurs and start-ups, growing businesses, social enterprise, policy-making, women in business, profile writing, business travel and international trade.
