Notably, I assisted in successfully implementing a CRM system for the company, including the creation of PowerBI report dashboarding, and designing a bespoke digital customer experience platform, "Your Voice Counts," which allows us to properly listen to our customers and design solutions around them. ๐My role also involves managing top customer accounts, organizing crucial meetings, leading collaborative innovation projects, and providing day-to-day support. I've also played a pivotal role in crafting comprehensive reports for senior management, influencing strategic decision-making processes. ๐ณMy commitment to professional development is evident in my completion of LEAN classroom training, a Mental Health First Aid course, and an IOSH Managing Safely certification. I am also very proud to have been recognised as a potential future leader of the company and selected to complete KAEFER's GROW program. ๐During COVID, I co-founded The Student Design Showcase, an initiative set up to allow design students to still showcase their work despite design shows being closed due to the pandemic. We achieved great support and growth, gaining 26,000 Instagram followers in just 18 months. We ventured into guest lectures at top universities and became a hub for inspiring, teaching, and showcasing students worldwide.
