About Xanthe

Xanthe co-founded Fourth Day in 2002, having worked previously in PR, journalism and IT.  She is based in our London office and specialises in messaging, writing and crisis management. One of her favourite things is meeting people running businesses, learning about new technologies and working out how Fourth Day can help them.

When not working with clients, Xanthe oversees the operational side of Fourth Day, making sure that the company’s team development, finance and business planning are all on track. Her guilty secret, which she has attempted in vain to hide from PR colleagues, is that she quite likes spreadsheets.

Xanthe also loves theatre and the arts and is very happy that Fourth Day’s London office is located in Somerset House, where creative endeavours are nurtured.
