Designed, built and managed a new line of commercial growth through digital marketing & brand partnerships by connecting brands to the word’s leading live entertainment audience, at scale.

Headhunted to join Jungle Creations by the founding team in 2015 as the 5th member of the business. My objective was to strategically build a new commercial team to break the market and challenge the media giants that dominated the industry at the time. After 3 years, my commercial team was one of the most recognised commercial departments in the industry. We won countless awards for our outstanding work with many of the biggest brands in the world, including The Drums's 'Branded Content Team of the Year' three years in a row. Much of our work is still recognised to this day as the most impressive media campaigns/partnerships globally.

Recruiting, training and managing a commercial team of BDMs and Sales Execs, I was responsible for planning, organising and directing the commercial activities and strategies that promote the growth of the organisation on a global level, by identifying and developing strategic business relationships with organisations and other prospective clients.

As Sales Manager, I managed a team directed to create and maintain profitable sales pipelines. This required CRM database and lead management skills to be combined with the ability to build relationships with clients and ensuring sales targets were not only met but exceeded. Contract and price negotiation was an essential skill during both the b2b, and b2c sales processes. My role was key to the ongoing sales success and development of business at GQ Australia. I specialised in sales and the planning, development and implementation of strategic marketing campaigns, to support sales objectives and to ensure continuous business growth throughout the organisation.

My duties whilst managing my sales team on a number of different campaigns at ANZ, prominently focused on the implementation of sales strategies to ensure sales goals were achieved. Utilising my strong managerial and training skills, I ensured my team achieved the best results across the department, whilst training new and existing staff on sales, strategic marketing and leadership/management.

The Appco Group is the world's leading sales and marketing company with more than 800 locations in 28 countries on five continents. During my time working with the Appco Group, I successfully completed the Business Development Plan, progressing to territory manager in under 2 years.
