Why Fly

Tim founded Fly in 2011 to help clients successfully navigate the explosion in marketing technology. Passionate is his view that a lack of tech smarts shouldn’t hold anyone back, he’s helped dozens of organisations work smarter, achieve more and avoid expensive mistakes.

Before founding Fly, Tim specialised in marketing and project management across a range of sectors. One highlight was working with Google to improve access and quality of education to rural Tanzanians via real-time remote computing.

With a degree in Business & Marketing, Tim has also studied business at the London School of Economics and completed Professor Mark Ritson’s Mini-MBAs in both Marketing and Brand Management.

Outside of office hours, Tim’s young daughter Amber ensures he is up at 4.30am with gentle kicks to the head and groin. And when he isn’t consulting or praying for sleep, he struggles to improve his Brazilian Portuguese.

With a 1st Class Degree in Pure Mathematics John went on to work for HSBC and Deutsche Bank.

With 15 years of development experience, he’s worked across a breadth of technologies and, languages including PHP, MySQL, HTML(5), CSS(5), Javascript and JQuery.

Here at Fly, John is a systems architect and developer, leading numerous client website integrations with platforms including Salesforce, Hubspot and Sharpspring.

A passionate believer that the devil’s in the detail, he ensures that big projects thrive when the small things run smoothly.

When John isn’t neck-deep in integrations, he plays the guitar (badly) and tends to his cat, Gravey. Yes, with an ‘e’ – something about where she was rescued, he says. Details on request.

After earning her MBA, Karine spent over 10 years working across marketing, management and departmental directorship roles in both a multi-national Telco. and in higher-education where her institution was responsible for over 15,000 students a year.

Extraordinarily comfortable with fast-paced environments and always adopting a remarkably detail-orientated approach, Karine plays a pivotal role in managing both client and internal operations.

Rafael joined Fly as a UX and Website Designer having previously been responsible for the full breadth of UX Research, competitor analysis, prototyping, usability testing and design at multiple firms in the emerging technology space. 

At heart, Rafael is a ‘life-long learner’ who continues to study at Masters level. He already holds a Google UX Design Certificate and holds (we think) a world record for most books bought in one go off Amazon; 70!

An experienced, card-carrying developer and specialising in WordPress, Bruno enjoys taking on some of most challenging projects from full site builds to the critical assets that constitute effective marketing funnels.
