I have a range of experience in sales oriented B2B roles as well as co-founding a start up, London.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
Graduate in Business Management with Entrepreneurship, having achieved a 2:1.
Throughout my career, I have gained experience in partnership management, team leading, and business development within the events, marketing technology, and retail wholesale industries. Recently, I've been managing my business whilst developing skills in various areas of technology, starting with cyber-security. I am passionate about utilizing my client-facing, B2B experience in a more technical capacity to adapt to the changing future.
Key achievements include surpassing target performance on every event (5) that I managed individually at Informa. I was part of a team of two that saw 149% growth compared with the previous year despite pandemic ridden conditions, generating over £500k worth of new business at luxury bed manufacturer Hastens. During the pandemic, I co-founded a meal kit start-up called Breezychef to remain proactive and pursue my passion for running a business. I am also a certified trainer in sales theory Gap Selling, taught by the author Jim Keenan himself.
In the five years since graduating, I have generated over £1m in sales through B2B roles and my start-up Breezychef.
