About me
I am a Marketing Professional with 15 years experience. I began in agency-side in PR before moving in-house at a fast-growing mobile technology start-up, managing staff and agencies for the UK and Europe and now at a B2B SaaS company as their solo Marketing Manager. I am looking to move into a larger marketing department, to focus more on the marketing strategy, while taking care of bigger budgets and teams and remain within the technology sector. I am best at helping small businesses grow from both an external marketing standpoint and working internally to build robust internal communications.

The first challenge was how to make this happen without losing the original audience,” Gilles Boisselet, ECD, UNIT9.
