I’m often asked how I ended up where I am, and to describe my ‘career journey’. It’s an interesting question, so one day I sat down and listed every job that I could remember. Here’s the result. It’s like LinkedIn crossed with This Is Your Life.
If you’re reading this, perhaps we met at a mentoring or networking event, or you’re considering whether to hire me. I hope this will give you some useful insights about me. Let me know if it did.
If you arrived here randomly whilst looking for something else, that’s exactly what my career journey has been like. Hopefully, the experience will be as positive for you as it has been so far for me. If you happen to be job hunting right now, here are some resources.
