Promoted to manage all Reed operations in both the Czech Republic and Slovak Republic. In this position I was eventually responsible for 25 employees across 2 countries with responsibilities including overseeing the company’s sales and marketing activities, managing revenue and costs, and all aspects of Reed’s CZ&SK personnel issues. Throughout this time, I reported directly to our European Manager and then later to our EMEA director. One large responsibility included overseeing all large business development and tender processes. This was an unbelievable management experience in an extremely fast paced and dynamic industry - one that I will treasure forever.

Continued to build the Reed Sales & Marketing division to a team of 5 employees. Our increasingly profitable team now had some excellent members on it, and at this point, my responsibilities included sharing my acquired knowledge, working on very senior vacancies and supporting the work of my team members to the best of my abilities. By the end of the assignment, our team was without a doubt one of the most respected ones within its field across the Czech and Slovak Republic. I can genuinely attest to the fact that working directly with this team was the best experience I have had thus far.

My first experience with leading people.

It was in this position that I started to understand the importance of actually “leading from the front”.
