    At Aggreko I have been positioned within the Sales Centre of Excellence producing e-learning content for sales staff all around the world. This included the creation of video guides for new procedures and designing virtual mock-ups of custom software using Articulate Storyline. Working closely with stakeholders I have been managing multiple projects at once from initial outline and design all the way through to testing, translation and publication. This position started right before the first COVID lockdown, transforming the position into a work from home job. As my stakeholders were situated all over the world this did not impact my ability to deliver strong e-learning solutions that added significant value to the organisation.
