    I love working with small tech businesses, bringing in structure and processes (if necessary) and most of all, taking the pressure off of you (CEO/Founder/Business Owner) so that you can focus on growing the business. My strengths lie in being able to build relationships with your customer base, making sure that you are known for great customer service which in turn helps with your sales. I wear many hats in my role from running the sales process, to analysing customers needs and requirements, to sales demos, to managing teams and processes, creating marketing content, to taking over your business weekly/monthly reporting and conducting customer interviews amongst others. I understand that working in an Agile manner is important in this changing world. My tech background comes from working in the IT consulting industry for 12 years, as a project manager for many different types of clients, projects, industries and technologies. This gives me the knowledge to bridge the gap between customers, tech teams, marketing and finance, amongst others. I understand the weaknesses in technology which gives me great foresight when making decisions and talking to customers. I am thoughtful and patient, making sure that I fully understand a problem before making a decision and acting on it. This comes across strongly to your customers who will appreciate a well thought out answer in a timely manner. And lastly, you will learn quickly that I am reliable. This tends to be the biggest deciding factor in whether you can take time off as a business owner. Knowing that there is someone holding the reigns while you are away gives you that peace of mind. And being able to have a break is important for a business to grow.

    Looking for a monday.com Expert to help with board structure, automation or integration? Then look no further then this Monday.com CERTIFIED Partner! Monday.com is one of the most powerful apps that allows you to create a custom solution to manage your company's workflows. The fact that it is so highly customizable is also a double-edged sword. It takes a true business professional to understand your company's complex workflows and a monday.com champion to devise and execute a well-thought-out solution on monday.com. Here are some of the ways I often help my clients: 1. Concepting, diagramming, and system design (I use Lucid Chart as a preferred diagram builder.) Revising and restructuring your monday.com boards to ensure that you utilize databases ( clients, vendors, employees, etc.). Eliminating the need for entering the same data across boards (e.g., client email) and achieving a high - low-level board structure. ( For e.g., an item in the client database should show you a total history of all connected deals, tasks etc. for that specific client) 2. Building out dashboards 3. Custom automations 4. Integrating third party apps into monday using integromat/make.com or Zapier; some common apps include: - Payment Gateways & Accounting: Quickbooks, Stripe, Xero - Document and Forms: Jotform, Google docs, Pandadoc - Calendar and meetings: Zoom, Calendly, Google Calendar - Files and Hosting: Google Drive, Dropbox, Onedrive, Box - Communication: Twilio, Gmail, Outlook, Whatsapp, Slack, Mailchimp Some of the common solutions I build are: 1. Sales & CRM 2. PM & Operations and Logistics 3. HR 4. Marketing 5. Legal 6. Finance Invite me to a job, or send me a direct message, and ill respond back promptly with my calendly link where you can schedule a free 30-minute consultation, so I can hear more about your workflow, Map out a proposed solution, Provide an estimate on budget and timeline. Looking forward to meeting you!

    I am incredibly passionate about what I do with my time, no matter the industry that this takes place. I believe that a career is an expression of yourself and your values - and I intend to always elevate myself and my team to produce the highest quality work. I pride myself in being the hardest worker in the room. I'm looking for a company that will challenge me while ensuring that I'm making a valuable and tangible impact on people's lives. The way that I engage with my teams, clients and manage products is rooted in my worldview which is pushing against the debilitating conditioning of societal norms. I believe that unlearning inhibiting habits, behaviours and insecurities enables people to bring their best version of themselves to the team which results in great quality in work. My team-management approach is the key differentiator and the reason that I believe I can bring magic into your product team. My method includes experimenting with different personalities, a strong focus on releasing limiting ideas and beliefs and assisting in character transformation which I have seen produces a whole new level of commitment and excitement for one's contribution to the team / product environment. I am a qualified transformational life coach which I believe gives me a deeper understanding of how to motivate and inspire people - which injects a new level of power and energy into the team. I have had a wide variety of industry experience over my career which has also given me an holistic understanding of customer behaviours in different service or product environments and this is key to tackling problems without bias or conditioning. To be great problem solvers we can not be too restricted by our beliefs but open to learning. Agile methodologies are also the centre of my management style. Both in product development and team development. Constant learning and iteration will always be the most progressive way to evolve in a radically evolving environment. And last, but not least, my foundation to any product or service offering is consumer-focused. Businesses that prioritise the customer experience and relationship will always be ahead of the curve and that is where I want to be. Most prominent projects I've worked on/in: Best Buy Pilot project Bose online hearing Screener World Health Organisation mobile app - hearWHO MTN Developer Portal Chenosis API Marketplace Spar Home delivery app and Many more..
