"My superpower is translating products into something that is relevant to a consumer in a way that makes their lives better."

Position: Director of Marketing, ANZ, Pandora

How did you first become involved in the music business? Moonlighting on 2SER ten years ago. I continued in brand and marketing but seemed destined to make music a central part of my career — landing the Pandora gig has made that happen.

What's your area of expertise and what experience do you have? My experience is across brand, marketing and advertising. My superpower is translating products into something that is relevant to a consumer in a way that makes their lives better. 

What topics will you be mostly talking about at Australian Music Week? Why digital platforms matter to musicians. Pandora is a business model that has been developed based on the changing connected consumer and therefore links musicians to a sustainable future of high scale demand.
