Summary

An experienced Detective Constable and former Graduate Manager, I bring over 8 years of law enforcement experience, combined with a strong background in sales and management. As a PIP 2 qualified detective, I have led complex investigations, managed case files, and worked closely with partner agencies to ensure successful prosecutions. My previous role in sales and management at Enterprise Rent-A-Car equipped me with extensive business acumen, the ability to meet and exceed KPIs, and a proven track record of driving sales growth while managing high-performing teams. Fluent in Russian and Ukrainian, with excellent problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills, I am eager to leverage my diverse skill set in a dynamic, results-driven environment.
