Commercial Operations Technical Manager

Freshwave

Mar 2022 - Apr 2023 (1 year 2 months)

A new role, carved out for me by the Commercial team; this was a hybrid role, encompassing Business Development (I took forward three major opportunities, delivering two of the three); Sales Support and Product Management. During the 13 months of the role, I was successful in closing the largest residential in-building cellular deal for the business, supporting on major tenders (leading where requested) including hospitals and stadia; and account managing one of our sales partners. Realising that tenders were managed informally, I set about creating, collating, and delivering a bid library for sales teams to enable self-serving answers to approx 70% of any ITT/RFP/RFQ standard questions. This involved establishing who was responsible for

I joined Opencell (as it was at the time) to drive forward customer-funded mobile coverage deployments. Opencell deploys industry leading small cell technology via both stand alone femtocells and/or distributed small cell architecture. But it doesn't stop there.

In fact, any mobile coverage indoors, outdoors, temporary or permanent can be deployed wherever you need it!

Experience Manager (NOC)

New Tour Guide role, to host enterprise customers round the latest and most technologically advanced Network Operations Centre in Europe - at Vodafone UK's Headquarters. Essentially this role was as "Product Manager" for the network. After all, the intangible asset of a mobile operator is its network. By bringing the network to life for existing and proposed customers I was able to assist account teams in retention and acquisition. But I also hosted a variety of non customer tours - ranging from the incoming bishop of Reading to the Turkish Minister for Transportation and Communication; from groups of local school children to the then Home Secretary (and current Prime Minister); and from all new starters to the CEO's family.

Delivery Manager

Cornerstone

Oct 2009 - Aug 2010 (11 months)

When Cornerstone phase two was initiated (before the establishment of the joint venture that was CTIL, and is now Cornerstone again) all delivery staff were integrated into centralised teams to deliver all projects. However, despite best intentions it was impractical to deliver single operator corporate solutions from a joint environment. Thus, during this period I managed the rollout of Vodafone corporate, points of interest, event and VIP coverage whilst still playing the Cornerstone game. After several months it was determined that the macro model of partner organisations should be followed in special projects. I therefore established training workshops and handover periods during which I trained mentored and created the partner p

I also travelled to London regularly to connect with and engage other staff members of the Federation, to understand the support functions of the BEC (now defunct) such as HR, tax, H&S etc. This enabled me to be a "first port of call" to members and be able to answer most queries without the need for escalation.

As the team expanded, contracted and settled; we created a strong brand of performers, creatives and crew who were able to establish popup nightclub and festival type events in any area or space across the UK and Europe. I soon realised that parties were only a small part of the future and began to invest heavily into equipment and skills. Using this equipment and skill I turned the brand from pure entertainment in to a fully diverse operation including hire, promotion and education.
