🌟 A little about me - “From grit to grace “ ✨ Storyteller, Curious, Innately Optimistic, Well Able for Chaos, Empathetic. I would rather be worth knowing than well known. I love spending quality time with my family and friends. 🌱Nature's my escape, especially beaches like Inchydoney and Killiney. Hobbies? Gym classes, Yoga, Travel and Sea Swimming. 🚀 Career Journey: Having always been highly driven towards building a successful career in technology, I have been fortunate to work at Microsoft, Oracle, LinkedIn, Salesforce and Slack. Now, leading Global Enablement at The Access Group, our team drives programs for pipe gen + progression, revenue, sales skills and onboarding. 💡Beyond Work: I'm passionate about empowering female leaders, helping career starters + those returning to work, ending animal testing, and fighting modern slavery in fast fashion. 🎯Throughout my career I enable sales teams to: -Have better conversations with their customers -Research and understand their clients and industry -Build quality pipeline -Close deals faster as a result of better insights, engagement and strategy. 🌟My background is marketing and events. Marketing taught me how to deliver the right message, to the right person at the right time in a visually pleasing way. Events taught me to always think about how your customer is feeling. 🌟In the 'attention economy world', I help sales teams to get noticed, be heard for the right reasons and to add value to their customers.
