I am a hard-working, quick thinking, business professional, who is happy working in both a small/start-up business or large organisation. I adapt to change well and am a genuine team player. I’m always keen to keep learning and adding to my existing skill set. I’ll ‘have a go’ at most things and when I’m set a task I remain focused and self-motivated until the end result is achieved. I have extensive experience within the IT/SaaS/Software industry, having worked in a client focused role for several years. I excel (and enjoy) client management and all that comes with being in a client focused role. I have strong selling skills and am happy working within budget and to deadlines.
