At RDS Consultants, I handled sales, marketing, CRM and business development for about 30 B2B and public-sector clients. I co-developed and coordinated a project that secured a £2M grant for a client.

I found new clients through cold outreach and prospecting, mapped new markets, and developed advisory services. I also planned trade fairs, webinars and client events, ran Meta Ads campaigns, and managed website projects with external developers.

At Intellectus Strategies CIC, I worked on organisational development, grant applications and outreach to partners and funders in the neurodiversity inclusion sector. I’ve also worked in recruitment, customer-facing sales and support, and as a mentor; I’m fluent in Polish and English.
