In my role as State Sales Manager for RSEA Safety, I was entrusted with full autonomy over the Tasmanian B2B business, reporting directly to the COO. Upon stepping into the role, my immediate priority was to repair the team culture and unify the various disjointed elements of the business. We also maintained our current business whilst exploring and gaining growth within the customer's basket, further consolidating our product penetration. Human resources became a critical focus, as I managed the performance of two unproductive staff members and facilitated their replacement with new hires. The team I managed was geographically dispersed across the state, and all members were from outside the industry. This required me to create, deliver, and enforce a comprehensive training program while ensuring accountability at every level.On my own initiative, I sourced and implemented a CRM system that streamlined operations and enhanced performance tracking. The success of this system led to its adoption nationally across the organization.With a $6.5 million sales target, I have developed a robust $16.5 million pipeline of new business. This includes securing major government tenders at healthy margins, as well as landing multimillion-dollar contracts with key business clients.Through the implementation of new systems, policies, and procedures, I have fostered a cohesive and collaborative environment across teams, including retail, embroidery, and logistics. All departments now work in harmony, supporting both customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.

As the environmental sustainability ambassador, my role was to liaise closely with our head of sustainability and generate interest in the continued implementation to reduce the use of single-use plastics, as well as increase the desire for the uptake of renewable products within the healthcare sector of Tasmania. This included all key business areas, from maintenance departments to board directors and key stakeholders within the government. This role was taken on as an addition to my core role as Key Account Manager and was complimentary the role, leading to greater responsibility and increased relationships with suppliers and clients.

This role included the day-to-day operations of the supply of medical and general disposable products within the healthcare and aged care industry. A steep learning curve was involved to ensure compliance was met across all areas, including nutrition, continence management, wound care and sanitisation.This was a state-wide role with the need for precise and effective time management, strict and fully accountable budgeting and financial as well as time-based deadlines. I was able to secure the penetration of many of our core lines against competitors and gain new business through cold calling and effective networking.

Working with all major Tasmanian hotels, clubs and restaurants - the Key accounts role was southern-based in a competitive landscape. This role required careful planning, excellent communication, and follow-up with all customers as well as a deep understanding of all operations within our customers' business, and our internal logistics. Working alongside major groups such as the Federal Group, and representing PFD at major corporate events was a key part of this role. The relationship management was just as important as the day-to-day operations and was a key part of my success within PFD. I am pleased to say the relationships gained in this role are still enjoyed today in a mutually beneficial way.

I was hired to help place people with long term and permanent disabilities into workplaces within the community. Despite the challenge of workplace toxicity and bullying, I was able to successfully place many candidates into meaningful, paid work in the community.

Beginning in 1998 with L'Oreal Professionel [Victoria], I was employed as a Technical Advisor. This role included teaching the international syllabus for the company, on road accompaniment with sales area managers and product testing. Quickly, I developed a talent for sales and was transferred into the sales division where I was awarded Sales Area Manager six years in a row and was awarded "Le Grande Champion" as the number one sales person [growth] in Asia Pacific.As a result of my success, I was promoted to Business Development Consultant and was handed the portfolio of most prestigious and influential clients.From the success of this position, I was offered the Authorised Agency position in Tasmania, where I moved my family and took on the challenge of growing the brand remotely as my own company in 2003.With limited support, we built the infrastructure, including warehousing, distribution, marketing and sales. Within our first 18 months, in a declining market I was able to triple the business, and eventually quadruple the business with steady growth or between 25 and 35% year on year for six years.This journey ended on a fantastic note and with a healthy relationship after 11 years.
