EXPERTISE
SALES
I've been a successful sales professional for over 11 years. A consistent target hitter, I've overachieved in both cold call sales and high touch sales. I've had many success stories with my clients and agencies over the years. With this success, I've been chosen to run sessions on key sales techniques such as active listening.
LEADERSHIP
I've grown as a professional during my time in Google. In my last role, I led a team of 4 on a portfolio of $110m per annum. I led the quarterly plans for the team, provided mentorship to other team members and was responsible for directing the team throughout each quarter. I ensured everyone is set up for success each quarter.
PUBLIC SPEAKING
A large aspect of my roles within Google was to run and speak at my agencies events. Presenting is my favourite thing to do. I've presented in front of a significant audience over 50 times. An example of this would be Search Leeds, where I presented in front of 1,200 people about Google's latest industry trends.
EXPERTISE
HOBBIES & INTERESTS
SPORTS
I'm an early morning Gym goer, going at 6.30am most days before work. Very keen golfer, playing to a handicap of 7 at the moment. Former soccer player but 3 surgeries in the past 7 years have told me to retire. Avid follower of most sports. Idols are Tiger Woods, Roger Federer and Lionel Messi. I like when people are striving to be the best of all time and coming close.
CHARITY WORK
Cycled 600k from Croatia to Venice over 5 days in aid of the Headway brain injury charity, raising $7k. Run a bookshop at Electric Picnic (Ireland's biggest music festival) every year in aid of Jack and Jill Children's Foundation, raising a total of $10k to date. Ran a pub quiz dressed as an elf for Jack & Jill in Dublin, raising $5k. It was great fun and a huge success!
TRAVEL
I've been travelling the world for the past year or so, taking in some amazing sights and ticking many items off the bucket list. I became a paragliding pilot in Colombia. I learned how to kitesurf in Egypt. I did a 6 week fitness bootcamp in Sri Lanka. I got my PADI diving license. I went two-thirds of the way up Everest. Most importantly, I've had one hell of a laugh along the way!
