You could argue that the big changes in Noel’s life and career trajectory can be attributed to his instinct for finding opportunities. Whether he’s meeting his future wife at a chance encounter in a Tube station in London or starting a career in the design industry while coaching club soccer, his natural curiosity has led him down promising paths.

With nearly three decades in the industry, Noel has created an impressive career and reputation that includes senior roles in marketing, PR, and business development. He has grown companies’ portfolios in industrial, civic, and commercial market sectors all while serving as a committed brand ambassador. As OKW’s Director of Business Development, he will use his network and experience to introduce us to new opportunities and expand our influence.

Outside of work, you can find Noel going on architectural walks with his wife and their beloved French bulldog Bella, following global soccer, honing his skills as an amateur photographer, and planning his bucket list trip to South America.
