(1) is grammatical but sounds rather weak. Compare 'Having the honour of meeting a prince, Michael, last week ....' (2) tacitly assumes that readers will be au fait with all that 'brand consultant' implies, and is better, but should not have the comma after 'brand consultant'.

The second version should not have the comma.– Hot LicksApr 29, 2020 at 12:19
