Tell us a bit about yourself and what you're up to now

A performance marketing professional with over 8 years of experience in technology start-ups, scale-ups, luxury brand management, marketing consultancy, and retail. Currently working as a Customer Success Manager at a marketing technology company, helping brands grow by optimising their digital partnership programs. I have significant experience in partnership management, performance marketing, enterprise account management, Β Martech and SaaS. A dad of two boys who loves fashion, food & music

What was your journey into a career in Tech Sales

Working in luxury retail, serving customers from diverse walks of life, prepared me for my current role. In retail, creating an excellent shopping experience for customers was the soul of what we did, and similarly, this forms the basis of being an exceptional CSM, going above and beyond for your customers, ensuring they receive value for every penny invested.

What would you say are the best things about working in Tech Sales

Constant learning – staying up-to-date with innovative tech products and industry trends.
Career growth opportunities – clear paths to management, specialisation, or even entrepreneurship.
Networking – building relationships with diverse clients and industry professionals.
Impact – helping businesses solve problems with cutting-edge solutions.
Dynamic environment – fast-paced and ever-changing, which keeps the work engaging and challenging.
And ofcourse you cant ignore the earning potential working in tech

What advice would you give to someone who is just about to start their career in sales

Keep an open mind, keep learning, stay flexible and teachable. Be curious and always maintain a positive can-do attitude

Why did you decide to join Tangent as a Mentor and why should others join as Mentors too

In my opinion, joining Tangent has allowed me to give back to my community and society as a whole. It has provided me with an opportunity to make a meaningful impact in life. While I mentor and support others, I also have the chance to continue learning in my field and to gain insights from the brilliant minds I encounter through Tangent.
