How it all started...
"As the Marketing Director for Apple UK and Ireland in 1990, Georgina was working in the PR team and I quickly singled her out as a future high performer. I encouraged her to take a broader role in marketing as well as gain specialist marketing qualifications that the business was happy to support.
While at Apple she was awarded the prestigious global ‘Golden Apple’ award. At that time she was the youngest person globally to have received it and I was immensely proud of her achievement.
I always found Georgina to be positive, friendly, caring and hard working. She always demonstrated a curious mindset and was keen to grow and develop. I have remained her ‘mentor’ throughout her career.
Several years later, while Regional Chief Executive at Vodafone Group , I introduced her to the Enterprise Marketing Director for Vodafone UK as a potential future hire for the business. Having spent time working at Cisco, she had developed great B2B marketing skills dealing with complex products and solutions. This was an area that Vodafone needed to develop as mobile data and convergence technologies were developing rapidly.
Since then, I’ve helped guide her with career decisions when she’s asked for my advice.
I have no hesitation in recommending Georgina.
