Role focused on the integration of the V Brand into Opal/Talk Talk and the subsequent integration of various acquisitions and their channel interests into the V Partner Program.

We then doubled this to in excess of £17,000,000 post sale to Opal with the V Management team via strategic acquisitions and strategic partner management. Show less
