Who I am
I am an experienced consultant and community & client manager with a passion for all things digital. I have over ten years experience in all aspects of client liaison and development, from the initial engagement through to extending projects.
I am an experienced and engaging trainer at all levels from interns to Managing Directors, as well as agencies looking to upskill and companies looking to embrace new marketing opportunities. I enjoy learning new technologies and playing with new networks. I love the internets.
I am confident in making sales from initial pitches to up-selling to existing clients. I have experience of managing a wide ride of clients, from local boutiques through to large multi-nationals.
My greatest strengths are my interpersonal skills and communication. These have been developed through a variety of roles both on and off-line. I possess strong facilitation skills, including managing and motivating staff to achieve company objectives. I have a proven ability to create and implement efficient new strategies and meet difficult deadlines.
