Technical Account Manager - Mobile Applications
September 2010 -> Present

I currently work at Google in the UK managing a group of Google's most strategic partners in the mobile industry.

My role is engineering-based and I provide the critical link between my partners and the different mobile teams in Google (Product Development, Engineering, Partnerships, Sales and Marketing). For example, I manage some of the largest mobile carriers in the UK from a technical perspective to ensure the successful integration of Google's mobile products (Search, Maps, YouTube etc.) with their handsets.

I assume all responsibilities of the partner relationship, including technology integration, launch, optimisation and renewal in order to deliver high impact business results for both the partner and Google.

Face-to-face, field-based role driving revenue and deployment of Microsoft's leading-edge products within multi-nationals and large public sector organisations.

Instrumental in winning a no. of key deals (e.g. Microsoft's first UK enterprise online services deal) and a no. of large deals (e.g. a £2m deal at a large Utility company). My responsibilities included leading customer-facing meetings, delivering in-depth technical engagements and developing great relationships with key stakeholders and partners.

I've been awarded 27 Microsoft Certifications including the MCPD (Professional Developer) and MCSE (Systems Engineer).

Developer, Founder & CEO
August 2004 -> January 2007

Established Projected Games Ltd to develop and market innovative computer games designed for use with projectors, specifically targeting the youth group market.

The company was born out of a vision to equip youth workers with customisable, reusable tools to help them entertain their youth whilst encouraging face-to-face social interaction. I spent 14 months developing five games (using Java) and a dynamic e-commerce website to market the games that automatically interfaces with PayPal (using DHTML and PHP). I then grew a customer base of 400 by exhibiting at 9 key conferences across the UK and US. I still run the company, so if you are interested in Projected Games, please visit www.projectedgames.com.
