Jimmy Leach
Jimmy has specialised in delivering digital in a variety of settings since the turn of the century.
He works with governments, companies and start-ups to refine their communications messages and the platforms on which they deliver them. And then checks that’s it is working.
In previous lives, he worked in media, in senior roles at the Guardian, the Independent and, most recently, as editor in chief at HuffPost UK.
He has dabbled in agency work – in consumer PR at Freuds and in public affairs at Portland. And he has worked in government too – as head of digital comms for two Prime Ministers and as head of digital diplomacy for two Foreign Secretaries.
As a consultant, he has worked for governments in Africa, Europe and the Middle East, for international organisations such as the OECD and ICANN and for billion dollar companies and start-ups. He has written for the Guardian, Times, Telegraph, Independent, Newsweek, HuffPost, PR Week, the Sun and more.
