I started in November 2017, so 2 years and 3 months.

The first time I visited Perigord the office was busy and buzzing. There was a great atmosphere and the people were all very friendly and professional with a diverse mix of talented individuals.

 I am a Key Account Manager

There is no typical day for me. It can be spent working with clients that need additional services or liaising with Team Leads to find solutions to client issues which can arise. My role can involve travel to client sites for business review meetings and/or presentations. There are also occasions where I may need to visit our office in Hyderabad to meet the teams there or support audit activities.

I love working with different people who have different styles and I’m constantly learning on the job. There is so much to learn that every day is interesting. Each Client too has a different culture and I must adapt to understand and to provide information that suits them. The Pharmaceutical world is enormous, so I don’t see this changing anytime soon.

Since I have started working for Perigord as a Key Account Manager there have been so many successes and moments that I am proud of, that it’s difficult to single one out. 

Any success which I’ve had at Perigord have been down to the efforts of many and so I can’t claim them for myself. I work with teams and really believe that we are all one team with a common set of goals.

Varied, hectic, interesting.

Rage Against the Machine – Know your Enemy

I have never listened to a Podcast and I don’t read books. I’ve tried to read but my mind wanders and when I get to the end of a chapter, I’ve no idea what I just read.

Music. I could not live without music. 

I am a very keen mountain biker and love to be outside on hills and mountains on steep challenging trails and basically scaring the living daylights out of myself. 

I also like walks through the centre of forests with my dog which I find relaxing. 

I’ll watch any sport really. I like to see people compete against one another and how this drives them to be the best of the best. My team is Liverpool Football Club.

That’s a very hard question. 

I distinctly remember Prince in Cork in 1990 for his guitar playing, but I also had a ball at The Specials comeback gig in the Olympia in Dublin. The whole crowd just danced and jumped around for a full two hours. 

Last years’ Forever Young festival was also amazing, as I got to see Bands and Artists that I never thought I would get to see. 

Then there are the little gigs from Irish bands like Chewing on Tinfoil in Whelan’s or the Workman’s club that are also awesome and intimate.

 I guess I don’t have a favourite gig, just memories from lots of varied and amazing music occasions.
