Describe yourself in 3 words.
Confident, Honest & Resilient
Who is your biggest inspiration and why?
There is no single person I can call out as an inspiration beacon. I’ve been lucky to work for some fantastic companies in my long careers, and I’ve been mentored by some incredible people, who have all contributed to my working journey.
What does going Beyond Expectations mean to you?
All our engagements should be customer centric. Speak their language, embrace their values, understand their business and the challenges it faces, deliver a great customer experience. If we can do this, we will be on the right path to going “Beyond Expectations”.
Why did you join Team Cisilion?
In short, to make a difference. Cisilion has had some great success delivering CNS solutions within the Corporate Real Estate Owner/Landlord/Construction marketplace. This is my area of expertise, so I’m looking forward to expanding our reach in this marketplace and bringing others on the journey.
What are you most looking forward to about working at Cisilion?
In the short time I’ve been here I’ve been massively impressed with the quality of the personnel I’ve met and interacted with. Its people that make a business and I’m excited by the prospect of working with a number of likeminded Individuals.
What are you most proud of about your career so far?
This is a difficult question to answer. My career has spanned 45 years so far, taking in a number of different discipline positions, culminating in a move into Sales 14 years ago. There have been some extreme highs and significant lows. Other than large sales “wins”, which are always satisfying, I guess that I’m most proud of always being true to myself and my values.
What are your long-term career aspirations?
Pass. Ask me one on Sport. As I said. I’ve had a 45 year career so far, done a lot of things, been a lot of places, seen a lot of stuff. Long-term career aspirations don’t really apply to me now. I’m focused on helping to grow the indirect business sector at Cisilion and broadening the understanding within the company.
What is a professional goal of yours?
I don’t really have any more professional goals myself. I would like to continue to be successful and make a difference at Cisilion.
What is a personal goal of yours?
Mentoring others. There’s a saying…”leave footprints for others to follow”. I’m a strong believer in this ethos. People helped me grow and find my potential. I believe it’s my turn to help those around me to do the same.
