Samantha Gates possesses expertise in interior design, textiles, resoursing, operations management, art direction and 13 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "I had the pleasure of working as Samm's manager at Kantar Public, and more widely to witness the broad positive impact she had on Kantar's teams. Samm's a diamond: when she gets involved in a business, everything and everyone just works better. She's got incredible work ethic and drive, with a real sense of responsibility to the business and people around her; she's got a great balance of strategic thinking and attention to detail; she's an impressively positive leader and organiser (of projects, resources, people and possibilities) that gets stuff done quickly with nary a ruffled feather; and a steady and focused presence under volume, pace & pressure. Samm also has slightly spooky future-telling skills that help zap problems before they have a chance to start - an uncanny ability to spot the people/process/timings/structure/resource issues that might occur and course correcting or people-nudging to keep things on track. She'll be a boon to any business. " and "On my very first day in the team, as a graduate, Samantha was there to make me feel welcome, and to fill me in on everything I needed to know. My first impression of Samantha was this person knows what she's doing and makes a tough job look easy. And as I got to know Samantha I knew I was spot on. Samantha carries herself with upmost professionalism with a human touch. She's a total team player who is genuinely invested in doing right by others. Whenever I had an issue I knew I could trust Samantha to take care of it without needing to check up on it, she's across all details. In fact, Samantha's ethos is really about spotting problems before they even happen - exactly what you want from a colleague. Samantha always goes above and beyond what's required and is a total asset to a project, team and company. My only complaint is she won't move to Australia with me, I'd love to work with her again. Samantha would be an asset to any team!"
