CV

Specialising in principles of Marketing Strategy for the past 12 years, my experience derives from working on numerous UK based brands such as Microsoft, Powergen, Asda and British Telecom. Having recently helped to establish a successful Marketing agency in Buckinghamshire, my focus is to help businesses progress further into their markets by identifying and implementing strategic planning that generate competitive advantage. In addition to my qualifications, I have acquired great business sense supported by interpersonal, creative and strategic based skills. With a strong personality, I am a confident and responsible individual with the ability to manage and solve problems independently, to achieve both personal and business goals. As an effective communicator and decision-maker, I have the ability to work, manage and relate well with others as part of a team or administer the responsibility as a team leader.
