She climbed the career ladder at an early[1]stage Start-Up in the commercial construction technology industry to Director of Business Development and demonstrated success driving multi-million dollar sales growth while providing award-winning sales leadership.

Advice:

To start a tech company:

·       Design the platform before building it.

·       Then took the framework and created user profiles.

·       You can then understand how someone will be using it.

·       Then look at it from a long term perspective.

·       This enables you to build a platform that would be able to grow.
