About

I love everything outbound 🫶🏻 And my absolute favourite thing is helping business development representatives (or SDRs, you know what I mean) to be absolute powerhouses. I’ve spent 7 years in the BDR world now, firstly as a rep myself, before transitioning into management (which I LOVE!). My goal is to build strong, ambitious sales people who drive success in ANY organisation they work at. With the BDR role normally being their first glimpse into sales life, it’s my responsibility to create an environment of learning, collaboration, growth & the ability to succeed 🚀 Here’s a few things I’ve achieved 👩🏼‍💻 At Swap: - FY25 Target Achievement 134%, FY24 Target Achievement 127% - BDR Outbound generated revenue increase from $2 million ARR 2024 to $5 million ARR 2025 - Promoted 3 BDR's to AE, 6 to Senior BDR - Increased headcount from 7 BDRs '24 to 30 BDRs by Q1 '26 - Coached and mentored over 28 BDRs across 2 regions (London & NYC) As a Manager: - Top 8 Sales Manager of the Year 2025, The National Sales Awards - Demandbase Top 100 Women in Sales 2025 - Top 5 SDR Manager of the Year at The Elites 2024 - Promoted SDRs to AEs and SDR Managers I also have a Podcast with one of my best mates and fellow sales legend Harry Monkhouse 🎤 You can listen to Can't Take Your Call Right Now on Spotify or watch it on YouTube ☎️ I’m also a Community Host for The SDRs of London, an exclusive community for BDRs and SDRs to learn from others. You can follow me for top tips on how to grow as a BDR, as well as advice if you’re another manager like me 👋🏻
