In this role, I hunt for new business, create and manage relationships with a very wide variety of customers and companies. This leads me to many different c-suite as well as fleet or procurement roles within the companies I engage with. I then manage the multiple different teams that help us provide the products and services to these customers. Given the age and maturity of Tesla and our products, having recently launched the Model 3 which fits within company car policies, I have been at the forefront of new processes and am continuing to help improve these. This role is country wide and I therefore often work from home and then travel all across the country to meet with clients and colleagues.

Senior Corporate Sales Manager

I ran the Heathrow showroom of Tesla, helping us become the highest selling showroom in the UK in 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, with 2016 being 20% higher than the next best location. I have helped coach and train up people who have now become managers of their own showrooms in the UK and Spain as well as helping developing some of the countries most successful sales advisors. Managing a Tesla sales location is very much like running my own small business and I have learned a huge amount in my time so far and I'm continuing to learn and develop. Watching as my team learn, grow and improve is what I find the most rewarding.

The processes that I helped create are now being used across the countries many showrooms.
