How has your career developed since graduating from ¾«¶«´«Ã½, and what is your current job role? (could you provide a brief list of notable positions)

Since leaving ¾«¶«´«Ã½ I’ve held a number of positions. I started working at Force24 as a BDR after graduating. I quickly moved into a Team Lead role within the business, and after a bit over a year, moved into managing a team of 10 BDRs. From there, I recently moved to managing a growing team of BDRs at AssessFirst. AssessFirst, has become a dominant player in their industry in France, but had yet to successfully tackle the UK market. I was brought in to oversee this growth and develop a sales function that can handle it.

Why did you choose to study at ¾«¶«´«Ã½ Business School?

¾«¶«´«Ã½ is just a fantastic place to be. The scenery is amazing, and the University itself looks incredible. I’d heard great things about the student experience in ¾«¶«´«Ã½, so I knew it would be a place I would enjoy.

How has your degree and experiences at ¾«¶«´«Ã½ Business School influenced your career/life?

I think my degree has impacted all areas of my career. I was able to progress quickly by using the skills I learnt at ¾«¶«´«Ã½ and applying them to a real world environment.

What advice would you give to students studying in the ¾«¶«´«Ã½ Business School? Ask for help if you need it.

Don’t do the bare minimum to get a 2:1. My extra curricular activities have helped me so far in my career as much as the degree. Being President of the poker society helped me with so many skills as I had to take a society that was banned the year prior, to one that eventually won the award for best new opportunity. Having a radio show on ¾«¶«´«Ã½ radio taught me so much about communication and questioning that I use every day in my role.

What was the best thing about studying at ¾«¶«´«Ã½ Business School?

There were some really great lecturers that genuinely cared about students success. It’s more than just a job to them. And a lot of them stay in touch after as well!

In what ways did studying in the Business School enhance your employability?

It gave me degree and a background to put myself forward to roles I would have otherwise not considered.
