Summary
Sales and results are in my DNA!
There is not a single role throughout my 20+ year career where sales and results have not been at the forefront of everything I do. In the first half, I started in hospitality operations working with brands like Gleneagles Hotel, Hilton Hotels, MacDonald Hotels and Resorts to high street restaurant chains. I spent the past 10 years scaling SaaS business’s holding several positions from Global Sales Manager to CEO. I have implemented go-to-market strategies in several countries and built, led and coached extremely successful sales teams in the UK, NZ, Singapore, Hong Kong, EU (Ireland, Italy, France, Spain and Portugal) and Dubai. A proven record of scaling SaaS business bootstrapped to raising investment to a successful acquisition.
I am passionate about helping companies create opportunities to deliver high-level results and exceed sales expectations. I work closely with businesses to understand their business, their vision and values, their current performance and their concerns. Success comes in many forms from top-line growth, expansion into new territories, diversification of products and services to individual and team development. I will work with businesses to provide tailored training and development strategies that provide results in all of the above areas and more. Most importantly we will have fun doing it!
