About me

I previously worked at Tag for 12 years in various capacities and now have a wide and varied knowledge.

I built the Duracell account from 8 countries to 86 by the time I left the account. I was also account manager on Pocket Kings Poker.

My previous role in account management saw me leading a big team of diverse nationalities with cultural differences and nuances. Diplomacy and a sense of humour was a must whilst leading them to very tight deadlines. Within my role I also implemented the standard way of working across the whole company and this standard is now being used in other companies.

In order to 'keep my hand in' and my brain active in the project management role I have also just completed running a team of 30 volunteers for my child's school and organising their first music festival, raising 3 times more than has been raised in previous years. I have been praised by both the school, the parents and the Governors for thinking 'outside the box' in order to come up with and implement the idea, whilst at the same time holding down 2 jobs and trying to raise my own photography business profile.

I am great at self-motivating or motivating a team. I love nothing more than picking something up and running with it. I appreciate a team around me and what they can bring to the table and recognise talent wherever I find it, making me great at running a team. That said I also trust my team to be there to pick up the slack, come up with innovative ideas and run with them if needed.

In my current role I have been given a budget in order to raise awareness and money for the firms Charity of the Year. I am expected to keep firmly to this budget and save where possible. With this, as with the school project, I have had to persuade people to give time and items for free and I have negotiated special deals with companies to secure equipment and services across all fields.
