Chairman Chief Creative Officer

Born in London to a Filipino father (a diplomat) and English mother. He was educated at Dartington, a boarding school, and Sussex University in the UK. Subsequently he worked in England and Hong Kong for ten years before setting up in The Philippines. His agency, a joint venture with the BBDO worldwide network, has now been named ‘Agency of the Year’ three years running. And just last week was named, not for the first time, the most awarded agency in the country’s leading creative award competition.

Aside from modesty his other qualities are having survived a snake bite in Thailand and being an avid follower of English football. He is known for getting invited to exotic locations around the world to look at other peoples work and help hand out awards to them. He is married with two children who are rapidly growing up which is possibly why they have recently found a home for a black labrador.
