• Training Consultant

  • Mar 2018 - Present

  The core of my responsibilities is onboarding and training new clients in the use of strata management and accounting software, both online and in person. I continue to then work with clients beyond their onboarding period, maintaining an ongoing strong relationship, so that they receive the most benefit from the software package, and are up to date with the most recent enhancements, assisting them with driving efficiency and reducing costs throughout their business. In addition, there is occasional system troubleshooting of the software solution, whilst also offering workarounds in areas, where appropriate. I collaborate with multiple teams within various projects to ensure upcoming product releases are communicated on time to clients, training materials are up to date, and test new product features so that they are in line with the client's needs.

• Service Delivery Team Lead

  • Oct 2017 - Mar 2018

  Reporting to the Service manager, I was instrumental in delivery quality client service focused outcomes to clients within Service Level Agreements. The role required direct client interaction, and I therefore developed interpersonal skills that were the main driver in my success in this role. I was a key person in the successful delivery of the company's services to their clients, assisting with the day-to-day operations of the service team. As team lead, I gained further experience supporting desktops, servers and cloud technologies. With a dedicated, knowledgeable, diligent and proactive mindset I was consistently able to achieve the company's and department's objectives. The company was very client service focused, so I was always prepared to go above and beyond to provide timely support to clients, with the ability to work well under both performance and time pressures. Developing strong relationships with clients was a key component of the role, as was building strong rapport with all internal stakeholders & service team members. Show less

  • Dec 2014 - Dec 2016

  I was the sole trainer at Spok in the APAC region, and as such responsible for the design, creation, and delivery of all training for external customer, internal staff, and resellers. The training content covered Spok’s products, which are communication and alerting solutions, comprised of front-end software, a smart phone app, and communications hardware such as pagers, IP phones, Wi-Fi phones, and transmitters. The products are aimed mainly at the health vertical, but also hospitality.

I would also assess the quality of training formats and procedures and work with Management on improving these along with any materials based on customer feedback and needs assessment. In addition, there was a fair amount of system troubleshooting and customisation of the Spok solution and its integrations whilst on-site.  Developed a full certification training program including outlines, programs, assessments, guides, presentations, and other resources.
