Nicknames?
Manu, Mani, Em, Ema… and manny more.
What car best represents you and why?
Piaggio Ape 50.
It’s Italian, it’s a bit of a weird one and it’s the result of turning a Vespa (my undisputed true love) into a car. Not less importantly, it either reminds me of home or of holidays in South East Asia, both things worth living for.
Your first car?
We’ll see! For now you’ll find me on two wheels.
Name a road anywhere in the world that you’d most like to drive…
I’d drive Route 1095 again, from Pai, Thailand to the Mae Hong Son border, Burma. Or the seafront road home, the Strada Costiera to Trieste, Italy.
Carpool karaoke song?
Hollywood Seven – Jon English
Best piece of marketing content this year?
KFC’s ‘Chickentown’. I love a good competitor dig, and this one was long overdue. Plus, Peckham holds a special place in my heart.
Best piece of marketing content ever?
Nike’s ‘Take It To The Next Level’. Made us dream big as kids, and turns me nostalgic like nothing else.
Hidden talent?
Fried pizza and poached eggs on smashed avocado. Not at the same time.
Title of your autobiography?
‘What was I talking about?’
What most excites you about working at Foxtrot Papa?
Mercato Metropolitano nearby, and the groovy office soundtracks.
Jokes aside, the superb creative taste and amazing group of people are unmatched anywhere else.
