Our People

What I do in my current role?

I lead communications with some of our key business partners. I work closely with the brilliant Marketing team to make the most of key moments from the Harry Potter books, from global events and activations to price promotions and new product launches. A big part of my role is strategising ways to drive revenue and sharing insights from our partners and local markets to help steer the business forward. At the heart of it all, it’s about bringing the magic of this incredible series to readers around the world.

What character from the wizarding world do you identify with the most and why?

Probably the most quoted one but… Luna Lovegood. I’m often caught thinking about something slightly out of place. Like Luna, I try to stay true to myself even if that means being a bit unconventional (and inconvienent at times).

Which house do you belong to – and do you think you’ve been correctly sorted?

Ravenclaw. Although I identify myself as Hufflepuff – I like to think of myself as loyal and friendly – it turns out my Ravenclaw traits are more dominant! I can’t deny my love of learning and let’s be honest, a bit of a nerdy streak. You just can’t kick the nerd out of me – whether it’s in this life or the wizarding one!

A fact about me that surprises people

I’m a weird combo. If you spot me in a cafe, I’ll probably be wearing something bright, messaging my friends about a beach getaway and cracking jokes about Disney movies – pre 2002 only, of course. But, in my headphones, there will be some heavy rock playing. My e-Reader will be open to a crime novel, and if you peek at my bookshelf, you’ll find an odd mix of everything from science to Samuel Beckett to fantasy, which makes any algorithm crazy. And when it’s time to head home, I’ll happily walk miles – but never on a bike. I never learned to ride one, and at this point, it’s a character trait.
