  • An astute sales professional who has a proven track record of driving commercial growth
  • Is knowledgeable of the Higher Education and apprenticeship market
  • Managed a sales opportunity pipeline consisting of short and long term sales cycles
  • A strong communicator with impressive presentation skills, who has successfully developed new and expanded existing partner relationships
