Earlier Work

Formerly worked for a market leader in the Mobile Telecoms sector in both Technical Account Manager and Application Support Team Leader roles. Within a Matrix Management environment this involved frequent client visits both in the UK and to Europe with Sales Account Managers. In this capacity I was involved in the tendering process during the company’s attempts to further infiltrate the French market with Bouygues Telecom and Alcatel-Lucent. This role involved dealing with Customers on a global scale such as Nokia, 3 (Hutchison Whampoa) and Orange (France Telecom). In this context I was also exposed to working with large sets of accumulated customer data and the security controls required to conform to the Data Protection Act. With an earlier background in graphic design I am skilled in User Experience (UX) design concepts. This was heavily utilised in the creation of separate instances of a company's white-labelled product by implementing unique corporate branding per customer. I was also involved in company's re-branding, updating their demo instance of the product to reflect the new logos and design scheme with a bias to the American market. I called upon skills gained both academically and as a practitioner when introducing design and functional change to the product. With an Agile approach this meant that iterations of development lead to improvements in the usability and made for a truly user-centric product.
