Most startups require you to wear many hats and that has certainly been the case at Reach7. I have worked to create processes to facilitate the delivery of the Reach7 platform but also been involved extensively in the sales process and day to day management of the business. I have successfully built and implemented: a new Development process (using a hybrid high-level Waterfall, low-level Agile methodology), Onboarding process for SME and Enterprise clients, Pitching & Sales processes. I have represented Reach7 at conferences and trade shows, in sales pitches and client meetings, and created much of the Sales and PR creative and copy.

As Product Manager at Reach7 I was responsible for the management of a development team of eight people as well as the company as a whole with regards to delivery of the Reach7 platform. I worked closely with all aspects of the product delivery from creating ideas, through UX and design, Sprint planning and SCRUM management to delivery and finally testing and deployment. It was a great opportunity to utilise not only my project management and general management skills but also to maintain my creative and development skills.
