  • May 2019 - Present

  As the 'about' section in my Linked In profile says, I am passionate about each of us realising that we are not the company brand we represent, rather we are actually our own personal brand. We owe it to ourselves to build the best version of us and to share that in the professional roles we undertake, in the networks we grow and the relationships we build. Last year I created the Jayne Albiston website, LI page and FB page as a space where I could share my personal brand, a public space to have a presence outside the companies I run.
