EXPERTISE
ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
All my positions throughout my career have involved some kind of account management. Whether it was BP and ExxonMobil for Navarik or physicians for PHSA my knowledge of understanding different working groups is extensive.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Much like account management, all my roles have, in some way or another, involved a moderate amount of project management. I was responsible for all partnership implementation projects at Venzee. At Navarik I was responsible for my client's new development projects. From the small to the big, I have been well versed in project management.
LEADERSHIP
I believe I am a natural born leader and that shown in group projects at school, being team captain for sports teams I have been on and even in my professional life.
At McDonalds in my teenage years I worked my way up from FOH to Shift Manager in 3 years. Navarik trusted me with leading the entire client services team after 1.5 years there and Venzee put me in charge of handling the partnership deployment.
