For two years, I had the privilege of representing the world’s largest network of taxi companies as a board member of the iCabbi Taxi Alliance. iCabbi, a leading taxi dispatch system, is 75% owned by Renault and powers thousands of fleets worldwide. In this role, I collaborated with industry leaders to drive innovation, enhance operational efficiencies, and shape the future of the taxi and private hire sector.

As the Sales & Marketing Manager at Albatross Group, I’ve had the privilege of being deeply involved in the hustle and bustle of growing a startup into a thriving enterprise. Over 18 years, I’ve been part of a dedicated team that scaled the business from a fleet of 40 vehicles to an impressive 700.
This journey allowed me to work alongside visionary entrepreneurs and accomplished marketing executives, gaining invaluable experience in scaling businesses into multi-million-pound operations. It’s been an exciting challenge to contribute to such dynamic growth while navigating the ever-evolving landscape of sales and marketing.
