This has given me a wide range of skills including; experience in strategic forward-planning; operating within tight financial disciplines; methodical administration to deadlines including crisis management where necessary; the application of modern leadership techniques methods through staff motivation; involvement in both decision-making and target-setting; clarity in communication, and easy personal inter-relations. My cosmopolitan background and analytical interests in other cultures, together with a command of the English language, have also made me confident in handling negotiations that require reconciling different local and national approaches to otherwise common problems. More recently I have been involved in social media as a tool to support non-profits and SME's and have a small virtual team who manage client profiles.
