What is your role at BoatyardX and what does a typical day look like for you?
Global Head of Sales. A typical day is packed full of learning. I am learning from our clients about the problems they are trying to solve and how they think digital can play a part in the solution. The conversations are very collaborative. It’s critical we have a strong understanding of the client’s problem/opportunity before we turn our attention towards the solution.
What challenges have you faced in your role and how have you overcome them?
To start, challenges are good as they result in growth! We pose challenging questions to our clients to ensure they are “building the right thing” that helps drive their desired business outcomes and provides value for their customers. It’s not always easy but its central to our success and more importantly the success of our clients!
