Why do you want to be a mentor?

I have had and have some great mentors in my career and being able to be that trusted advisor to others whether they are feeling stuck, dreaming big, or just want someone to bounce ideas off, is a privilege. Good mentors can help cut through the noise, help you see your potential and give you the kind of straight talking advice that makes a difference. Plus selfishly, every mentoring conversation is a chance to challenge my own assumptions and share my experiences which hopefully make a meaningful difference in someone’s career journey.

Firstly, please call me Kam. I’ve spent my career leading businesses through transformation, growth, and reinvention.

From heading up creative agencies to driving strategic change across global markets, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible brands, teams and individuals to solve complex challenges that help businesses thrive in competitive landscapes. Along the way, I’ve learned a lot about leadership, resilience, and what it takes to create meaningful impact.

I have always worked to the business ethos that its people, product and then profit and am a values driven decision maker. What excites me most is empowering people – whether it’s mentoring emerging leaders, guiding teams through change, or helping businesses unlock their full potential. I’m passionate about combining strategic thinking with creativity to solve problems and seize opportunities, especially ones that utilise technology. I also love digging into operational challenges to streamline processes and make businesses run smarter.

I prefer to be hands-on and love the implementation of a strategy as much as the creation of it. Outside of work, I’m a big fan of exploring new ideas, cultures, and perspectives and I love to learn new things.

I love fashion and vintage pieces and antiques because they keep us connected to and learning from the past. I love being part of the global community, be that through travel, books or researching some new idea I’ve had. I enjoy being in and on the water, be that on my SUP board or being at the beach with my wee family.
