As a seasoned sales person I work closely with manufacturing and engineering companies everyday and always want to align my personal ethics and goals to the work I do. The recent trend in sustainability and future impact as well as being a young Dad, has focused my mind on new possibilities and conversations I can have with my customers where we can make a positive impact as Autodesk and as an individual.

Hey there,

As an Account Executive at Autodesk I get the privilege to work with the world’s most forward thinking, innovative and sustainability focused companies. My role supports thought provoking conversations, allows me to educate our customers and engage at every level of a company’s structure to address their specific needs.

I’m a Mechanical Engineer by training and through this I developed a passion for working with manufacturing and engineering companies to improve their own performance. My skills at leveraging the technology stack to support strategic discoveries that help our customers uncover exactly where and how they need to focus time and effort to unlock their real potential.

Fifteen years in sales has enabled me to explore many different markets and build a skill set suited to engaging with business leaders to help drive innovation and change within their business. Highly trained in c-level engagement and process improvement, I support my colleagues and customers in negotiations and solving the art of the possible.

As a Sustainability Ambassador here at Autodesk I strive to support our own and our customers sustainability goals in all that I do. This is a true passion of mine as I believe we need to act now to improve the world for my children and future generations.

Living and growing up in the Cotswolds in the centre of the UK, I have always had nature in my blood – a keen mountain biker, paddle boarder, occasional (but very average) surfer and all-round outdoor enthusiast I believe I could support more organisations with physical projects as well as using my analytical and sales skills to support process improvement goals.

Skills:
- Sales: Negotiation, C-level engagement, process improvement, NPV/ROI
- Sustainability – a growing interest and passion
- Physical fitness and enjoying getting my hands dirty
- MS Office, Salesforce, MURAL
- Time management and focus (as demonstrated by 18 months of working at home with a 3 year old!)
