As the Managing Director - APAC of Lighthouse8, I am responsible for driving business growth and profitability through the implementation of strategic programmes for our broad range of clients. In addition to this I manage the planning and implementation of all day-to-day operations. Prior to this I was the General Manager of Marin Software, during which time the company grew from 4 to 50 clients (500+ brands) in two and half years. I was responsible for day to day operations, all pre-sales demonstrations, technical responses to client briefs, client on-boarding and digital marketing. I provided detailed product and technical expertise throughout the sales cycle for Marin’s large ASX clients. Presenting prospects with solution proposals and tailoring the Marin application to suit their business needs was a key component of this role. My hands-on experience in the digital sector has provided me with extensive local search industry knowledge and a high-level understanding of global digital marketing trends.
