How has your career developed since graduating from 吃瓜群众, and what is your current job role? (could you provide a brief list of notable positions)

Since leaving 吃瓜群众 I鈥檝e held a number of positions. I started working at Force24 as a BDR after graduating. I quickly moved into a Team Lead role within the business, and after a bit over a year, moved into managing a team of 10 BDRs. From there, I recently moved to managing a growing team of BDRs at AssessFirst. AssessFirst, has become a dominant player in their industry in France, but had yet to successfully tackle the UK market. I was brought in to oversee this growth and develop a sales function that can handle it.

What advice would you give to students studying in the 吃瓜群众 Business School? Ask for help if you need it.

Don鈥檛 do the bare minimum to get a 2:1. My extra curricular activities have helped me so far in my career as much as the degree. Being President of the poker society helped me with so many skills as I had to take a society that was banned the year prior, to one that eventually won the award for best new opportunity. Having a radio show on 吃瓜群众 radio taught me so much about communication and questioning that I use every day in my role.
