Jan 2008 - Dec 2009
Gartner, Inc. is the world’s leading information technology research and advisory company. Gartner delivers the technology-related insight necessary for clients to make the right decisions, every day. Founded in 1979, Gartner is headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, U.S.A., and has 4,300 associates, including 1,200 research analysts and consultants, and clients in 80 countries. I joined Gartner in 2008 as I wanted to further my career outside telecommunications and explore other aspects of IT. The role was appealing to me as it utilised my knowledge of the Telecommunications industry as I was managing Gartner's major portfolio of Telco providers in Australia. I made the transition into IT Research successfully and in 2008 was the first person in ANZ to qualify for Gartner Winners Circle after increasing my territory by 40% in my first 12 months. Show less

Macquarie Telecom is a Tier 1 provider which solely services the corporate market in Asia Pacific. Macquarie provides a wide range of solutions including data networks, hosting services, fixed voice and mobile voice & data. Macquarie is unique in this market as they are able to offer whole of business solutions as well as market leading billing solutions offering complete control of services to the end user. I joined Macquarie Telecom in 2001 when I first emigrated to Australia from London, I took a role with them in Adelaide heading up their new business team selling all traditional Telco services. The first 2 years at Macquarie was spent finding my feet in a very conservative market but once I got to know the lay of the land I went on to increase the turnover in South Australia by 450% in a 4 year period. In addition to signing the first ever 5 year contract for Macquarie Telecom I also won an extremely competitive tender to secure the Adelaide University contract for an initial 3 years which we eventually extended to 5 years as they renewed the agreement with us.
