I run a team of around 16 people across sales, BD, and engineering. It's an unusual combination, but in infrastructure and engineered- systems businesses, having one person who can straddle all three appears to matter quite a lot. I started out as an apprentice electrician. Somewhere along the way I helped build some of the UK's first solar farms, went back to university at age 27 to study politics and quantitative research, and ended up leading commercial functions across energy, EPC, and regulated engineering. It's been an unconventional route and I think that's mostly why it's worked. Today I'm responsible for sales in the tens of millions, with my sights on nine figures. I've sat across the table on individual deals north of £20m, navigated long sales cycles where the ground shifts constantly, and learned to make good calls under real pressure with incomplete data. That last one turns out to be most of the job. I really care as much about the people as the numbers. I coach new talent, develop the experienced ones, and try to do all of it with a smile on my face, because if you're not enjoying it, what's the point. I like knowing the industry I'm in, and I like knowing the people in it properly, not just professionally. I work hard. But I work to live. Family comes first.
