DanielNugent

An all-round marketer with over four years in senior roles at Wayflyer and almost a decade running my own ecommerce brand. At Wayflyer, part of a small marketing team through a period of rapid growth, wearing many hats and helping reshape the company's approach to marketing. Building everambr to 3M+ revenue alongside that has kept me close to the day-to-day decisions business owners face.
