A motivated Relationship Manager with experience in sales, leveraging strong communication, analytical, and organisational skills, seeking to further develop professionally in a challenging new role within the financial services sector.

I am a dedicated and experienced Relationship and Growth Manager currently working at Worldwide Business Research (WBR). Over the past two years, I have demonstrated strong leadership and business growth through strategic project management and the development of client-facing skills. My current role has sharpened my ability to work closely with stakeholders, conduct critical analysis, and lead teams, making me a valuable and hardworking professional. In the past 18 months, I have taken on the leadership of my own portfolio of travel industry events, collaborating closely with the production, finance, and marketing departments to play a strategic role in driving the growth of these events year after year. My daily responsibilities include meeting with C-level executives from companies like EasyJet, Virgin Atlantic, TUI, and Booking.com to understand their business needs and connect them with the most relevant global events and technology partners.

Prior to this job, I completed a 3 month long work experience programme with Pallant Homes, Chichester, which involved time with the financial planning department, assessing costs and revenues for developments. In addition, I spent time reviewing local emerging plans for potential development sites. I gained professionalism, administrative, and numerical reasoning skills.

I completed a joint subject undergraduate degree, of Geography and Business Management at Queen Mary University of London, achieving a 1st class honours.
