Background
Summary
I am injecting 20 years of experience in marketing and business development and my Dinahmo 'oomph', as one of my clients called it, into helping businesses achieve growth. Consistency with business values sits at the heart of most successful businesses and my approach refers closely to that, whether you are looking to build new propositions/products, communicate your brand message or improve customer relationships.
I'm known for my tenacity and for opening doors and building networks - the keys to any successful venture!
Having built successful business ventures off the back of business networking, I am also now sharing my strategies with individuals and companies who want to put business networking at the heart of their business development plans.
Specialties:* Business networking for business or career development - workshops and coaching
