Nicola worked for me in 3 mobile for four years and during this time was involved in the launch of 3's mobile initial mobile broadband offering, business product launch and the winning of the National Broadband Scheme tender which was worth €79.8million and used to bring broadband to areas that could not receive broadband from any other operators. Nicola was critical to the success of above initiatives, each required someone who could grasp a challenge make relevant changes where required and deliver within tight timescales. Nicola was into the detail and would ensure that anything she worked on would be presented in a professional manner and correct prior to going to market. I have no hessitation recommending Nicola for her work ethic, professionalism and above all her ability to work with people in achieving her and company goals.
