What delights and inspires you about your work?
I love how my role touches almost every aspect of the company. It gives me a unique perspective and positions me help provide strategy and direction. I am also a bit of a perfectionist and this inspires me to look for ways to streamline and automate routine tasks so that the business can focus on what matters.

What is your background, and how does it impact your current role?
I am a Chartered Accountant with a strong combination of Finance, IT, HR and Administration skills. I have a very diverse background and this has given me exposure to best practices in a range of industries and company sizes. This multi-industry experience has made me adept at identifying critical challenges quickly and addressing them. In addition it allows me to approach problems unblinkered by an industry specific mindset and enables me to offer fresh and innovative solutions. To me the phrase “That’s not how we do it” leads me to ask “Why not?”

What are some organizations you have worked with recently?
I have worked with international pharmaceutical companies such as Basilea Pharmaceuticals and Amgen. I have also worked for Canada’s largest public relations firm, NATIONAL Public Relations. Some of the more unique industries include Arla Foods, a leading supplier of specialty cheeses, and ClubLink, Canada’s largest owner, operator and developer of golf courses.

What is your perspective on sales development?
Sales development is about less selling and more relationship building. Once you have established a relationship with your customers then you can provide them with the solutions they need. In order for this to work all elements of the sales team must work together. It is not enough to have great sales reps if they are not properly supported by management – they need to “walk the talk”.
