With a passion for travel from an early age I completed a degree in Leisure Management and then embarked on a gaining as much experience to understand the industry. Understanding the complexities of the travel model through retail and call centre jobs I moved into field sales having no experience in this area! This was the start of my journey and had various promotions and responsibilities added to my role. This has led me to the individual that I am today often described as “tenacious and someone who gets the job done” Working within a sales and commercial function has driven me to build a range of skills during my career to date which are transferable to other industries. This is down to the engagement of different stakeholders within global businesses.I am a self-motivated and progress-driven meticulous individual with a long-standing record of initiative and innovation looking to progress into a senior role. With 20+ year’s experience within commercial sales I have developed and executed strategies to grow sales and drive new business. Excellent relationship management, marketing, presentation and communication skills. Driven and motivated approach to achieving goals with effective negotiation and decision-making skills along with exceptional organisational and planning skills. Confident record of influencing and driving sales, account and project management at senior level through both B2B and B2C channels in global tour operations. I am open-minded and I have proven to be effective innovative and motivational, with proficiency in delegation and collaborative work. Key Skills include: Matrix management, Relationship Management, Strategic Planning, Marketing, Communication, Commercial Negotiation, Mentoring, Coaching, Presenting, Budgetary control. Salesforce
