– Pro-active understanding of clients’ business and competitive market place, carrying out desk research. Facilitation of brainstorms/meetings

– Being the key point of contact for the client, managing client expectations rather than agreeing to unrealistic requests. Managing up and down – the ability to work with different levels, personality types and ways of working. Consistent, but adaptable

– Effective line management, leading by example and mentoring direct reports
