I regularly drafted communications on behalf of the CEO related to all manner of client and vendor correspondences, reviewed legal material, proofed contracts and proposals, supported tender responses and provided presentation and pitch coaching.

Additionally I worked across partner engagement, successfully introducing and establishing Design Industries as the first Atlassian provider in the world to partner with Alibaba Cloud, alongside our existing agreements with Amazon Web Services and a host of other vendors.
