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

I'm Irish and have been working in SaaS sales for the last 4 years. I currently work at Lattice as an AE. In my spare time I love running and open water swimming.

What was your journey into a career in Tech Sales

I had my own business for a while and then moved into field selling in the HR industry

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

Earning potential and being able to do big things like getting married, buy a house and have a great lifestyle with benefits. I also enjoy helping my customers be more successful

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

You have to back yourself no matter what. Don't be afraid of failure or setbacks as it's all ahead of you in a career in sales

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

It took me a long time to get into the industry and I felt like an outsider for a long time so I want to help others to navigate breaking through
