I have worked in the communications and ICT industry since 1995. During this time I have development key
relationship and engagement skills at C levels and all other parts of the business both internally and
externally. During my time with Telstra and later Gen-i, the communications industry was transformed from
a monopoly to one with many highly competitive participants. Through all of these distraction, my
customer first approach enabled me to retain and increase sales and revenue. On many occasions it was
my strong relationship with my clients that ensured contract renewals rather than the customer going out
to tender.

In my role as a Senior Client Services Manager, I was required to demonstrate a sound knowledge of my
customer’s business, products and market competitors. My strengths lie in my ability to perform in a results

people working with me, a commitment to quality service and the ability to set and meet targets. I have a
