Â鶹Íø

How has your career developed since graduating from Â鶹Íø, and what is your current job role? (could you provide a brief list of notable positions)

Since leaving Â鶹Íø I’ve held a number of positions. I started working at Force24 as a BDR after graduating. I quickly moved into a Team Lead role within the business, and after a bit over a year, moved into managing a team of 10 BDRs. From there, I recently moved to managing a growing team of BDRs at AssessFirst. AssessFirst, has become a dominant player in their industry in France, but had yet to successfully tackle the UK market. I was brought in to oversee this growth and develop a sales function that can handle it.

Why did you choose to study at Â鶹Íø Business School?

How has your degree and experiences at Â鶹Íø Business School influenced your career/life?

What advice would you give to students studying in the Â鶹Íø Business School? Ask for help if you need it.

Don’t do the bare minimum to get a 2:1. My extra curricular activities have helped me so far in my career as much as the degree. Being President of the poker society helped me with so many skills as I had to take a society that was banned the year prior, to one that eventually won the award for best new opportunity. Having a radio show on Â鶹Íø radio taught me so much about communication and questioning that I use every day in my role.

What was the best thing about studying at Â鶹Íø Business School?

There were some really great lecturers that genuinely cared about students success. It’s more than just a job to them. And a lot of them stay in touch after as well!

In what ways did studying in the Business School enhance your employability?

It gave me degree and a background to put myself forward to roles I would have otherwise not considered.
