  • Mar 2004 - Feb 2012

  At Reed, I transitioned from the private to public sector and at the same time moved my knowledge base from being mostly technology orientated to encompass a variety of public sector needs with an emphasis on the enforcement/justice sector. As such, account management and service delivery were an ever-present feature of my work as I combined managing client needs with building a team, capable of doing the same. This has resulted in former colleagues moving on to become Senior Business Managers at Reed and Talent Acquisition specialists for HMG. Alongside this, I covered standard recruitment functions including; client presentations, networking events and service level meetings all of which allowed me to enhance my communication and interpersonal skills. I still maintain a keen interest in technology and its impact on business as an enabler to better serve organisational needs. I gained and delivered: Proven team management and mentoring experience. Permanent and Contract exposure. Experience in account management and new business development creating long-term relationships with clients and candidates across a number of industries / technologies.
