Our Team

My career has seen me working in three different countries (France, Australia and England) in a variety of roles and industries, including saving elderly or confused people from ruthless salespeople as a sales verification representative and preventing money laundering by running checks in an investment bank. Then I released my inner geek and have been working in the digital world for the past 7 years. Since joining Texere, I have been involved in a number of exciting projects, learning something new every single day alongside a passionate team which is a key part of Texere's strength.

I have 17 years consultative account management experience and developing intelligent solutions for my clients has always been a real passion. Working at Texere is wonderful because of the people! It is truly a joy to part of the fantastic team of first-class media professionals – they are incredibly passionate about what they do. And there isn’t a day that passes by without a laugh!

I’ve been a professional magazine designer since 2003. I spent several years at London lifestyle magazine Dazed & Confused, before moving to Grand Designs Magazine – the accompaniment to the TV series. After relocating to the North West, I worked for a classical music publisher, Live Nation (theatre division), and took on other freelance projects and ran my own community interest company. There are many great things about working for Texere, but the best probably has to be the freedom to be creative on some fantastic magazines – and the people, of course.

I studied computer science at university, followed by a master’s degree in maths, before obtaining an accountancy training contract with a large UK firm. I remained in practice for nearly nine years, before making my first move into industry, joining Texere Publishing in August 2014. Working at Texere has really widened my business knowledge; in a vibrant start-up company, I’ve had to get involved in all aspects of the business – not just finance.

My earlier career was spent working in recruitment nationally and for clients internationally before moving into HR for a successful mail order group and becoming a Chartered Member of the CIPD.  With a passion for HR and people management, I have been fortunate to work across various industry sectors including Telecommunications, Manufacturing and Early Years Education. During my career I have been privileged to work with some exceptionally talented people and my journey continues.  Working for Texere Publishing, a creative, adaptable, and unique business who place their people at the heart of everything they do is exceptional and provides an opportunity for exciting times ahead.

Working within audience development over the years has thrown me into the wonderful world of magazines, events and BPA audits. With industry knowledge ranging from brand licensing and automotive through to 3D printing, ophthalmology and analytical science, who wouldn’t want to be stranded on a desert island with me?! Texere has brought a breath of fresh air to my career – we are a family and I love my job.

I completed my studies in medical biochemistry in 1998. To cut a long story very short, I escaped to Tokyo and spent five years working for the largest English language publisher in Japan. Carving a career (and simply surviving) in the megalopolis that is Tokyo changed my outlook forever. Back in the UK, I combined an aptitude for words with a fascination for science. I joined Texere on day one in 2012, where I initially spearheaded the launch of The Analytical Scientist. Today, I am proud to have the responsibility of ensuring quality and style of all content across all brands within Texere’s portfolio.
