Senior Sales Executive
Vuelio (Formerly Cision Group And Previously Vocus)
Chiswell Street
I worked for Vuelio after their astute purchase of the UK Cision and Vocus businesses in June 2015 following the Competition and Markets Authority's decision to block the proposed merger of these combined businesses with Gorkana. GTCR had previously spent over a billion dollars on a media intelligence acquisition strategy that began in April 2014 with the purchase of the full global operations of Vocus. Then followed Cision, Visible Technologies, the Gorkana Group, and most recently Viralheat in March 2015 giving rise to the most comprehensive suite of services that allow communications and marketing professionals to make the best data-driven decisions as the worlds of traditional and social media continue to convene.These were, and continue to be, incredibly exciting times and it was a privilege to be at the forefront of the public relations industry's development in helping organisations as they navigate the rapidly changing landscape around them.With a customer focused ethic that concentrates on the right kind of sale rather than 'just making the sale', I managed to be the most consistent performer against target over 2013 and 2014 combined, as well as at the point that I moved onto a new challenge in September 2015, earning all the major incentives that were up for grabs along the way.
