What’s your background?

I have worked in the recruitment industry since 1997. I started out as a Consultant and after 3 months in the role an opportunity arose to manage the branch that I was in. From there I went on to open new locations and became an Area Manager. I was then tasked with driving performance in existing locations and gained promotion to Operations Manager. I mastered the art of remote management and was then asked to take on the role of Operations Director managing 38 locations across the UK.

Current Role: CTO @ WorkGaps

What’s your background and how did you get into management?

My background was primarily technical – my first roles were in bespoke software, and from there shifted to web-app development. I was recommended a role with a start-up company that led to me building and leading a development team. I’ve been making the transition from senior / lead engineer to a management role over the last year.
