Business Development Manager
My role consists of working with our customers to ensure they are offered the best frequency conversion solution for their particular application or area of research. One of my favourite parts of the job is the satisfaction that comes from working with our customers to ultimately find the technology that best suits their needs.
Other areas of the role I enjoy include assisting with product launches, web development and some of the marketing elements including social media. For this I have to keep abreast of the latest products and trends in the photonics market and attend trade shows and conferences, meeting customers and industry colleagues.
Main Areas of Expertise
I graduated from the University of Salford with a BSc in Physics. During my time at university, I developed a passion for optics, eventually writing my dissertation on “The Characterisation and Optimisation of Ultrafast Lasers”. I wanted to take my interest and knowledge in this field and find a way to apply it to my career. The applied scientific environment I have found at Covesion is exactly what I wanted.
The product development team at Covesion are in the forefront of scientific research in novel and innovative markets such as the quantum sector. Each day is different so one day I might be learning about the development of our products and the next, researching a customer’s application field to ensure I can offer them a great solution. It is always varied, and I get the opportunity to be involved with many different aspects of the business.
Hobbies & Interests
Outside of work one of my favourite pastimes is going out to see live music. Whether it’s a small intimate performance in a pub or a sold-out stadium with 30,000 people, I love the connection and kinship you can find with complete strangers through music.
I spend my free time gaming online. It’s a great way to stay in touch when you have friends living all over the globe. Whether that’s old school friends or making new friends from the other side of the world, I find it a fun way to stay socially active with people that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to “hang out” with very regularly.
