Bio
Vincent Caleb Adjimani
I had the privilege of undergoing Katie’s training to assist my transition into a 360 consultant role. She was able to provide me with both the foundation and structure to hone my skills set and develop my abilities within sales to become more productive and efficient, seeing an instant return in results!! Along with the theory, there was also the dedicated one to one on desk activities that gave me the chance to practice what was learnt and receive constructive feedback to further improve myself. I highly recommend her services regardless of level as she has the relevant experience and resources.

Katie knows recruitment inside out, a passionate and insightful person that has given me a lot to develop my career! I think her approach to the market is relevant and effective. Katie has never had an issue motivating and up-skilling people at all levels in the business with a focus on the leaders of our business, Katie has helped me also to transition from a biller to a manager.

It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation for Katie and wish her the best with her new endeavour at Sharkfin Consulting. I had the pleasure of working with Katie during my time at JD Ross Energy / Opus where I billed circa £1.2M Gross Profit in a year and then went on to bill circa £900k Gross Profit the year after (Jan-June). During that time I attended several of Katie's training programmes which were invaluable to my success at the time and of which I still use to this date in my career. They allowed me to sharpen my skills when winning multi million pound accounts, with some of the biggest companies in the world, and also position ourselves against some of the biggest vendors in the world - despite only being a Start-Up brand of bigger organisation. I think Katie is a fantastic trainer, I think her material is brilliant and I think any business would benefit from her consultancy.
