Executive Editor and founder of Houghton & Mackay, I oversee an enterprise defined by its ambition and its restless, international momentum. The remit is expansive: steering the organisation’s direction, cultivating a global network, and shaping something that continues to widen its reach.
Supporting the writers, photographers and creatives whose work animates each issue remains one of the most gratifying aspects of the role. Every piece we publish carries its own distinct character, making the idea of choosing a single favourite both impossible and beside the point.
The focus now is clear: to build on an audience exceeding forty thousand globally, to collaborate with brands and individuals in ways that feel genuinely reciprocal, and to deepen our presence across the intersecting worlds of culture, lifestyle and wealth.
The magazine’s evolution extends into broadcast, with the early foundations of the Houghton & Mackay YouTube Channel now taking shape—an emerging space for refined commentary and visual storytelling.
