About me

Since September 2019, I have held the position of International Account Manager at the Moodie Davitt Report, the leading B2B publisher In the Travel Retail industry. I hold an extensive background and experience in both Account Management and Buying having also held the position of Global Buyer for one of the world's leading cruise retailers.

My time as a Global Buyer provided me with the negotiation skills to develop regional contracts and supply chain, exposure to senior stakeholders across global brands and cruise lines whilst negotiating margin maintained promotional calendars in order to exceed sales budgets. Within this role I also gained extensive analytical skills, pulling raw data and analysing sales vs stock holding and sell out performance.

I come to you as an excellent networker who has a good eye for cultivating opportunities with both existing and new clients on an international scale. It is a combination of my ability to identify, utilise, target and build relationships with relevant stakeholders that I feel makes me the best candidate for your opening, combined with my experience of managing major retailers (Waitrose, M&S and John Lewis) for a premium spirits company.

In my current and previous roles, I have been responsible for hitting designated sales targets, increasing portfolio growth, keeping an eye on competitor activity and educating customers about company's brand and products whilst focusing on business development. I believe my experience as a Buyer and Account Manager has provided me with extensive experience and skills to thrive in the role available.

I am a driven and highly motivated individual with a proven record of commercial awareness who is capable of building customer relations that will drive the company forward, representing the company in a highly professional manner and high standards.
