Chris M. Email and Phone Number

Experience in sales, sales management, marketing and product roles has provided me with the ability to understand customer problems and assist in the development and launch of new products that improve performance and provide real solutions. This broad experience in the commercial world and early experience in a production environment enables me to put myself in the shoes of others and understand problems from the customers point of view.I have worked in customer facing sales, cradle to grave product management, marketing, branding and have experience working in multiple B2B/Industrial environments whilst managing external agencies and limited budgets.I enjoy meeting people, learning about new markets, processes and product applications. I relish keeping up with the latest marketing tools and skills, whilst never forgetting that some of the traditional methods still have a place in the world.My ambition is to lead a sales team, marketing team or both to success and beyond. ***A few key achievements***• Developed and grew a global sales/business development pipeline of prospects from virtually zero to a potential sales figure in excess of £100Mn.
