Having recently moved into the Platform Management business unit I’m now in a Territory Management role covering New South Wales. Quest’s Platform Management tools are first choice for organisations looking to secure, manage, and recover Active Directory; provide detailed auditing and reporting across critical systems, and migrate onto newer Microsoft platforms whether on premise, in the cloud, or using a hybrid model.As Territory Manager I work strategically with marketing, pre-sales, renewals and partner teams to promote Quest, discover customer requirements and lead the sales engagement to a successful outcome for all parties. Key customers in this territory include some of Australia’s largest names in FSI, retail, manufacturing, utilities, construction and healthcare.

In this role I'm responsible for Quest's Information Management portfolio in named accounts across NSW, VIC and ACT. With the investments Quest is making in this portfolio it's an exciting time to be leading conversations into our most influential customers.The portfolio is rapidly evolving with solutions to help business migrate to, manage and monitor growing database technologies such as PostGres, MongoDB, Cassandra, and HANA wherever the database sits.In addition to this we're continuing to develop our market leading solutions around Oracle and SQL Server - providing more powerful and more cost-effective ways to replicate, migrate, manage and monitor these databases than by using native tool-sets. If a business is moving workloads to the cloud, investing in newer database technologies, or wants to reduce operational overhead of more traditional databases, Quest has solutions to assist.

As an Enterprise Account Manager I look after our Tier 1 BFSI customers in Sydney. Our broad portfolio is highly utilised in the Banking sector with customers using our products to actively monitor database, application, infrastructure and VM performance; handle complex Microsoft platform migrations; backup and recover Active Directory and critical Oracle or SQL Server databases; and provide security reporting on user, file and database activity inside of an organisation.Key applications under my portfolio include: Foglight, Toad, SharePlex, Recover Manager AD (Forest Edition), Change Auditor and ActiveRoles Server.

In January 2014 I moved to Australia to help support the SecureWorks team as they expand their business in region. As more and more Australian businesses become targets of cyber criminals this is an exciting place to be as we help identify threats and reduce our customer's exposure. In many cases we do this by providing advanced managed services to augment the staff and technologies they already have in place, but we also provide a broad array of consultancy, incident response capabilities and threat intelligence services too.As Regional Manager I'm tasked with overseeing inside sales, solution architecture, provisioning and on-boarding of new customers along with handling the contractual and commercial elements involved in this process. It is my responsibility to ensure all customers have a good experience working with our teams and we can deliver immediate value when we begin an engagement.

Dell SecureWorks are recognised by both Gartner and Forrester as industry leading Managed Security Service Providers and have a very strong industry presence with security consulting and threat research.I had a business development role at Dell SecureWorks working with medium sized businesses in EMEA. I helped businesses understand their potential security weaknesses and then recommend areas we could help, while making the engagement cost effective for the customer.

At Nalpeiron I managed all major accounts in EMEA and Australia/NZ and was responsible for seeking new business in these territories too.During my time at Nalpeiron I helped the company grow significantly and took on additional responsibilities to help train new sales team members.

After graduating I trained as an estate agent specializing in property lettings. This included extensive education on property law. My role as a lettings manager saw me working with property investors helping to find, choose and let investment properties in my area. I also learned to develop good relationships with the sales teams at new homes sites in order to become the first choice referral contact for their clients. The job also helped me to learn about the property market in the UK and I bought and worked on 2 investment properties within 3 years.
