Responsible for the success of LogiKal’s Integrated Project Consulting, Resourcing and Training solution for the Oil & Gas and Mining Sectors in Perth, WA. To achieve this, online marketing including the use of e-news, Social Media and SEO are used extensively to initially build brand awareness. Once brand recognition is achieved, more targeted marketing is employed to pursue key clients and develop the business through client meetings and presentations. I have also been extremely versatile by up-skilling myself in Project Management training courses (including Primavera P6 & ProSight software) to consult for Western Power as a Planning Analyst and Rio Tinto as a Planner in order to gain a better understanding of the business as well as identify future opportunities from within.

Established operations in new international markets and market its training services (training courses, e-learning, training manuals) globally. I successfully established operations in Malaysia, India, Poland, Vietnam and Egypt for IDC Technologies (an RTO), a leading international engineering and technology training company. The job involves a whole range of roles including contract negotiation, project planning, budgeting, accounts, recruitment, and sales and marketing. The international operations were set up from scratch. Some involved partnering with local companies, while others involved registration of local entities. To achieve targeted results, strong sales efforts, very close and rigorous management of the local offices and creative marketing strategies are key. The new markets have generated healthy profits with the brand being strongly established. This included a year stint in Malaysia in 2008/09 to expand the Asian markets more aggressively.

I undertook a Management Trainee program being rotated through various departments in Singapore and USA over a period of 4 years to gain a good understanding of the different business units within the organisation. Starting off in the Operations (Liner Trade) department, I was then rotated around several sections (i.e. vessel planning, transshipment and documentation) which gave me an excellent foundation of shipping. In my next role as a Shipbroker, I handled chartering as well as post-fixture matters in Maersk Broker, a subsidiary of Maersk. The main achievement was in concluding several substantial fixtures bringing in healthy commissions despite the weak market. I also managed to source new clients and strengthen existing client relationships. Next, I was expatriated to USA to the Strategic Marketing department. As a Senior Marketing Analyst, I mainly carried out detailed market analysis and forecasting which were used in management reporting and in the budget process. I Graduated the Maersk International Shipping Education (MISE) diploma within the top 5% globally in a cohort of over 300 trainees.
