As part of the Board at Momentum I am responsible for the strategic direction of the business focusing on business development, account management and the introduction of new services to the market.

Northern Ireland

I originally started at Momentum Group with a focus on working with clients to ensure that they maximise the optimum benefits available from the R&D Tax Credit Government Initiative.

Having spent almost 5 years as International Trade Director for Santander, I have taken the plunge to do something new and different in a fast moving and exciting space. During this time I was involved in all manner of International Trade facilities including Supply Chain Finance, Letters of Credit, Trade Loans, Foreign Exchange, International Payments etc.

Working in a small product group within Santander Corporate Bank to promote a very innovative approach to Supply Chain Finance in the UK market, offering highly competitive finance rates to suppliers of UK buyers.

As Bus. Dev. Manager, I am now responsible for strategic focus on growing our market opportunity from within our existing customer base, developing sales strategies, product strategies and profitability growth for our sales teams. The role is both challenging and rewarding and provides a new area of focus which supports and is supported by, the experience.

Managing a team of 9 Sales people across the UK. Managing a £5.5 million target reporting to the board.

Following a restructure I was asked to take on the repsonsibility for a new vertical sector sales team, selling directly to the Public Sector with three UK based team members and myself heading up the team, with a responsibility for £2.2 million of sales.

Following the successful take over of Checkpoint by Bottomline, my role changed to managing the Sales team across Scotland and Ireland without the managment responsibility og the engineering staff. My responsibility was to continue to drive the business forward towards £1.5 million in sales across the region.

Expanded the position in Ireland to include Scotland with two sales people reporting directly to me and two engineers who were responsible to the Branch office under my authority. The business unit was responsible for £1million in sales and support of over 500 customers.

Promoted to Account Manager following the successful growth of the business to include an additional 150 customers (quadrupling the original customer base) and employing a full time engineer with direct reporting to me.

New position in Northern Ireland to look after the existing 47 customers and expand the business.
