What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role supporting leadership where I can apply B2B lead generation, admin excellence, and process optimization to drive client growth and operational efficiency.

I am an organised and adaptable business development and executive support professional with experience in B2B lead generation, cold calling, CRM management, and executive diary management. I take pride in creating structure, building efficient systems, and delivering dependable, detail-focused administrative support.

At Matrix Marketing I manage LinkedIn outreach, cold calling, email campaigns, mail merges, quoting, and CRM records while training new cold callers and leading client-facing meetings to support sales strategy. Previously, I sourced and qualified leads, made 30+ cold calls daily to book meetings, and managed executive schedules to ensure follow-up and client retention.

I also supported invoicing, quotations, procurement, customer communications, and filing systems at Sigma Compressor Services, contributing to smooth operations and compliance. I am confident, people-savvy, and eager to grow into roles where I can support leadership and make a measurable impact.
