CV
I have over 20 years experience in the ICT sector and am considered expert in the sales and practical application of new technologies to “real-world” business environments. My application skills focus is in both Sales & Marketing and Project/Change Management.
I work as a Sales and Negotiation Trainer and have worked for HP Sales Teams in Spain, Mexico, Colombia and Argentina, as a Sales Accreditation Consultant for BT in the UK, for Lenovo, Cisco and others.
I have exceptional international experience and success in sales and project management roles undertaken in Europe and the Middle East. Working for important sector specific clients (including government, corporate and business education organizations) I have gained an important understanding of client’s varied business benefits and how to sell them.
I have also achieved top level results in complex project and consulting assignments requiring design and implementation of information services impacting on existing business methodologies and creating new ways of working. I am an excellent team builder and communicator and am qualified to Master level in NLP and Coaching.
I enjoy work that involves people interaction and have great experience of multi-national and multi-culture working environments. I am a top class speaker, presenter and trainer.
Being creative yet pragmatic, I have had the good fortune to work for a number of interesting global name companies (Toys "R" Us, Sony, Visa, BT, GE and others) as well as some government organisations (EU, UAE/Dubai, UAE/Ras Alkhaimah). My professional goal is always to measurably improve client given criteria, usually by reducing cost or extending sales reach. A distinguishing, and beneficial, feature of my professional experience is the unusual combination of having held both commercially focused and technically focused roles.
