About
I’m an experienced SEO with more than 10 years of experience in-house and within an agency. Within the agency, I’ve helped build high-performing teams, comprehensive training programs, and worked with brands to improve their organic presence, and more recently, helped them enter the new AI-driven search ecosystem.
I speak at digital marketing and SEO conferences across Europe, Asia, and the US, including Google’s Search Central Live Bangkok 2025. In 2018/2019 I was credited with coining the term “edge SEO”, and won the inaugural 2018 TechSEO Research competition with research into, and the applications of CDN and edge modifications for SEO purposes.
