After graduating from the University of York, I worked for two multinational companies in data analytics and management. I currently work for Hilti GB, a multinational company, whose operations are in the construction industry. I am a Regional Performance Controller, responsible for the Northern European region. I am responsible for the reporting needs of the business, as well as project work, working together with my colleagues in Manchester and abroad.
