Introduction
I studied psychology at university but have always had a passion for customer service. Driven by this, I worked in numerous part time sales jobs while I was studying. Rather than doing a post grad, I joined an IT company and worked myself up to a sales role. Leveraging my passion for people and customer service, I thrived in this role and was quickly headhunted for a more senior role. This set the tone for my career.
What were some significant life experiences that led you to where you are now?
Working for Basis Networks (CyberCX) which was focused on Netsec was an amazing experience for me. My tenure there represents the most successful time in my sales career thus far. I believe this is due to the people (very good engineers), the owners (who understood me), the culture (supportive and family-like) and my sales maturity.
