Thank you for looking at me. I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a seasoned Senior Account Executive within an Agile Software as a Service Business. I specialise in understanding what customers need as part of their Duty of Care and Safeguarding needs, whilst helping clients re-imagine what the duty of care solution looks like with the aid of the world's first safeguarding software. I am passionate about ensuring our customers realise the benefits of a duty of care solution, that optimises their risk management framework, whilst also streamlining processes and reducing time, effort and costs in protecting their business and people. What is the problem that I solve? I demonstrate the rich feature set of AtlasNXT that validates your duty of care needs, whilst also being a key point of contact throughout your engagement to continuously maintain the service delivery, resulting in success and reducing risk to your business. How do I know what you need? I'm also Experienced Country Director with a demonstrated history of working in the safety, security and investigations industry. Skilled in Security services, Crisis Management, Emergency Management, Business Continuity, and Risk Management. I carry significant provenance in the Middle East and Europe, underpinned by accreditation of the Certified Security Management Professional (CSMP®) awarded by the International Security Management Institute. Great, so I know about Safety and Security, but what is the point of difference to other Safety or Security Directors? I have used Location based communications, with hardware integration in many different forms and in numerous contexts. I understand the needs of commercial businesses as well as service providers to end users and the associated deliverables required and expected from our services. If you are used to dealing with hardware devices, but not so much in Software as a Service, how can I be the point of difference for maximum adoption? Having provenance of hardware tracking service to more recent a software duty of care solution, means I understand your context, irrespective of your understanding or ability to recognise the substantial value add that AtlasNXT can bring to your business. Ok, so you want to know more?? Drop me a note on whatsapp, so that we can connect and arrange a call to understand your context and illustrate a pathway for you to validate success in your duty of care and risk management framework.
