When I was 21, I realized working for someone else would never work for me. I registered IV Systems, my first company and began planning the rise to the top of my self-built empire.Fast forward over 15 years, and many, many lessons later, I continued to build, learn and push forward. I’m well-versed in negotiations, planning and development, relationship management, project management, operations, and logistics coordination and scheduling, as well as all technical aspects of my chosen industry, including the design and implementation of digital security, audio visual, automation, IT and infrastructure and communications systems.After selling my company in 2017, I took a sabbatical and searched for a new adventure. I started taking online courses in Forex trading, and was later approached by the owner of EA Trading Academy, and asked to join the team. I became an instructor, mentor and trader, and enjoyed this new adventure for a few years.As the company grew, and evolved, our focus evolved to building long-term relationships with our partners, from software developers to brokers, exchanges and affiliates. As the Partnerships Manager, my mission is to ensure we stay at the very forefront of our niche industry, and utilise our experience and expertise in the area by assisting our partners to increase their brand exposure and client acquisition.
