Versatile and motivated with a proven track record in negotiation and account management. Excellent analytical skills coupled with a first class ability to oversee projects from inception to completion against a deadline. Working in the independent small business environment has allowed me to develop firm relationships with people from both private and public sectors and has taught me the value of clear communications with a diverse range of people from field sales to senior management. Most importantly it has reinforced a deep knowledge of the footwear and apparel trade from core performance through to premium lifestyle product leading to consultancy work on several young brands from conception to launch (PEP, and More Fury).
