Summary

Passionate and results-driven sales professional with a dynamic background spanning advertising, media, and tech. I began my career in the fast-paced world of advertising before moving into new business development at a rapidly growing tech startup in New Zealand. Motivated by ambition and a hunger for greater challenges, I relocated to the UK two years ago to pursue opportunities in a more competitive and expansive market. I now lead New Business and Partnership Sales at an innovative AI market intelligence company, where I combine my diverse experience with a deep curiosity for how AI and big data are transforming modern business. Thriving in high-intensity, competitive sales environments, I bring a proactive mindset, a relentless drive to exceed targets, and a genuine passion for building valuable partnerships that deliver impact.
