About Kirsty

My History: Actor and Presenter, Sales Trainer and Channel Manager, Field Sales and Event Management

Born with a speech impediment (I know what it is like when words fail you!), but with a lot of help and determination, I got my first professional role at the age of 8 starring in a TV advert for Heinz Baked Beans.

I supported myself as an actor while also juggling other jobs such as makeup artist, sales trainer, and event manager. This allowed me to have a more comprehensive view of your performance, not just what you do on camera.

In my role as a manufacturing channel salesperson, I worked closely with clients and their customers to secure large-scale projects. This experience taught me how to effectively coordinate and work with people, building harmonious relationships with everyone involved.

During my time in Channel Sales, I acted as the main point of contact between the internal and external product and marketing teams. I ensured that the go-to-market message was consistent, on-brand, and effective.

Communication is powerful when it is done with service at the heart
