Saville

Head of People
Core Team

An experienced marketing professional, with a background in Marketing Communications, Digital Marketing and Product Management (Wellington, Melbourne and London). My career spans over two decades in the financial services, IT, tech and education sectors. In recent years, my focus has been on sharing my knowledge with start ups and small businesses, and setting them up for success.

My role as Chief Operating Officer for Virtual Marketers sees me manage our growing team and internal culture, striving for organisational efficiencies and finance responsibilities. I also work as a Virtual Chief Marketing Officer for several of our clients.

My passion for comms and storytelling enables me to connect with people at all stages of their customer/ user journey from acquisition from their online presence through to retention. I’m no stranger to assessing the marketing requirements for a business and then developing and delivering their complete comms, social and web strategy, to achieve core business objectives. I love the fact that we allow marketers to reimagine their careers, offering them project flexibility and unique ways of working around the rest of their lives - the future of work!

This article got me thinking in the lead up to International Women’s Day - but it’s missing some crucial data. Who typically has the soft skills in today’s workforce? Is it the recent graduates or the end of career employees? Does age or gender typically skew someone’s ability to rate well in soft skills? Or is it completely dependent on personality and individual EQ?
