• Investment Manager

  • Sep 2021 - Present

  My role at E2E Capital Ventures, involves getting to understand your business and then helping you to create, and action, a strategic plan to raise funds for your early-stage investment rounds (Pre-seed - Series A). Founders looking to raise capital are not short of support options. There’s plenty of people with strong networks that can help connect you to potential Investors that they know of. However, the smart thing for any Founder to do, is to build their own network of serial investors, relevant to your business. That’s exactly what we help you to do, identify - grow - engage! Focusing on building your own investor network is key to the success of this current fundraise and all investment rounds thereafter! Book a call with one of our team to discuss how we can help you begin to build your own 'black-book' of Angel Investors. https://www.e2ecapital.ventures/network-builder/ Show less

• Digital Marketing Consultant

  • Sep 2018 - May 2019

  Following various online programmes and courses I started working at QV-Marketing to further my understanding of the marketing world and pursue an interest that I'd developed throughout my previous sales roles. Much to my satisfaction I found that working here, I was able to not only further my understanding, but gain practical, hands-on experience implementing what I learnt through delivering and leading marketing campaigns for clients. I had the opportunity to understand how to optimise success, as well as how to manipulate and utilise a variety of strategies across multiple platforms to work towards, and better suit, a particular businesses needs & campaign objectives. I inherited invaluable experience in this role at QV Marketing and developed somewhat of a passion for the industry in the process. I was able to extensively expand my knowledge of the digital world and it's capabilities; whilst refining my own abilities, skills, and understanding of what it takes to deliver effective B2B marketing and business development campaigns across a variety of sectors.

• 700 & Above Employee

• Travel Expert

  • Apr 2018 - Sep 2018

  I was asked to move to Australia to work in the St Kilda branch. My first full month in store I made more revenue for the company than any UK transfer to date; and the store made the most money it has ever made in it's 30year history (Individually achieving over 300% of my target). During my time there I regularly finished at the top of the revenue leaderboard for Victoria and within the top 3 in Australia as a whole. I was elected to be Victoria's only 'round the world' expert out of hundreds of employee's, as well as being instructed to record and role out sales training to the rest of the country as I maintained one of the highest yield and conversion rates in the country. I was awarded the 'Top Travel Expert' award for quarter two of 2018 (April through to June), which means I delivered the most revenue throughout that quarter (despite only working for 2 out of the 3 months).

• Assistant Manager

  • Apr 2017 - Nov 2017

  I was asked to step up to fill the role of Assistant Manager at the Leeds Vicar Lane Store which is the second largest branch in terms of revenue in the UK (out of 52 stores), becoming the youngest person to hold the role.This meant I not only had a full sales target of my own, but also had to share the managerial load and run the store in the managers absence. I was in charge of everything from feedback, data analysis and reporting, to training of staff, complaints handling, and quality assurance across our team which consisted of 9 members. This meant that both yield and customer conversions was something I had to optimise in order to maximise time efficiency, and I took particular interest in the evaluation of marketing campaigns and it's relationship to closing and increasing sales revenue to do this.Despite increasing my responsibilities I was able to still consistently exceed my own sales targets and frequently achieve over 200% of monthly targets.
