As Principal Consultant leading on the provision of BI consultancy I opened a number of new UK and international accounts for CP in the UK, Europe and Russia. These included local authorities, B2B consultancies and major international corporates.

I delivered various IT and IAG projects for this national children's rights organisation. I also oversaw the organisation's contracts with numerous local authorities country wide and was responsible for developing new business streams for the organisation, particularly regarding its online presence.

I lead the contract recruitment team for Computer People's head office branch in Piccadilly.
