What I'm looking for
I am an experienced and effective director-level professional with a proven track record in sales and management. Having successfully grown a startup business from the ground up, I am eager to leverage my drive, passion, and hunger for success in an environment that offers greater opportunities for professional growth.
As the Founder and Director of BDI Resourcing, I led the company to achieve aggressive growth, expanding from three founders to a team of 28 and generating £2.6 million in annual turnover within six years. My expertise in pre-sales, client management, and infrastructure implementation has allowed me to build strong relationships with stakeholders at all levels, including C-suite executives. I have a strong focus on developing high-quality training materials and mentoring senior employees, ensuring alignment with company goals and identifying new opportunities for growth.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to manage complex projects, including the implementation of cloud systems and CRM solutions. My analytical skills enable me to use data effectively to influence business decisions and adapt strategies to meet market demands. I am now looking to bring my extensive experience in recruitment and sales to a new role where I can continue to drive success and foster growth.
