For the last 15 years I have worked in both Business to Consumer and Business to Business roles. Most recently as a Sales Manager and Business Development manager. I've built and managed 7 brands and respective sales teams, exceeding sales and growth targets. I have worked for myself for 2 years, starting a sales consultancy, working with businesses to build their sales teams and grow their business.
Most recently I've helped with the expansion of a tech platform into the Australian market, by implementing learnt business development strategies. I've helped grow the foot print in Australia to one of the most recognised platforms in the building and architecture industry. I've done this by building strong relationships, and by using sales and communication techniques learnt over a long career in sales.
