I was lucky enough to be successful through the Prograd assessment day in June 2007 and actually secured a role at Prograd in the sales team as a BDE. Over the next 10 years I then had the opportunity to work through the client services division, then through the sales team in a variety of roles including as a Business development manager, sales manager and into a Account director role managing some of the organisations key customers. Following a fantastic 10 years I shifted into the software start-up world as a sales director for an ideation platform helping organisations develop and foster new concepts to drive business growth from their employees. The next step in my career was into the data, analytics and technology space working for a multinational, multibillion dollar organisation where I was responsible for growing, training and managing a team of high performing inside sales professionals looking after 5000+ corporate customers. Over the next 4 years we took the team to 12 people. Following a successful 4 years I was asked to put my hand up to run our Commercial sales team which consisted of 7 highly experienced key account managers looking after our top 500 corporate B2B customers. Key focus for the team is expanding our foot print across our customer base, increasing touch points and overall revenue growth. We’ve had consistent high performance with yoy growth each year. I’m also involved in many internal company initiatives as well as being a judge for the Credit team of the year which is a part of the Australian Institute of Credit management in which we are the major sponsor. Consistent high performance and progression are 2 aspect I’m extremely proud of over the past 18 years.
