In 2024, a health scare gave me the chance to pause and re-evaluate where I invest my time and focus. That perspective led me to make the decision to step back from my C-Suite responsibilities. With a fantastic leadership team in place, I was able to do so while continuing to prioritise my health and focus on what I’m most passionate about: leading sales, building relationships, and driving growth. I remain fully committed to Tevalis and to driving the business forward. My focus is on strengthening our sales leadership, building stronger cross-functional teams, scaling with Enterprise operators, and delivering world-class POS, enterprise, and integration solutions. I’m proud to lead an exceptional team and continue building momentum as we work towards establishing Tevalis as a global technology partner within the hospitality industry.
