In the latter part of that time, she has led The Drum team from a struggling regional multi-title publisher to an increasingly global media business focussed on serving media and marketing professionals, a journey that she outlined in her TEDx talk “How it took 25 years to be an overnight success”. With offices in London, Glasgow, New York and Singapore, she is currently immersed in planning the next steps to scale the business. She is a previous winner of the UK’s national trade body’s Publishing Innovator of the Year award.
