Bio
Mark Butler 🟡🟢🔴/🔵
I worked with Jo closely in the Project Growth team at Reach PLC and consider Jo to be a very hardworking and perceptive sales management professional as well as a friend. Her perception and inspiration enables a focus on people and performance. She is happy to "roll up her sleeves" to get the job done and has the ability to see solutions where others just see banana skins. Jo is trustworthy and supportive and sees the development in others as a key factor in the path to victory. She continually strives for success and is able to bring the team along with her because of her "geordie" straight talking, her coaching abilities and her knack of being able to focus on the right things at the right times.
