Blog,
Our Project Manager, Jonny, discusses his journey into the tech industry, his success within our SAM team, and why the License Dashboard culture stands out.
How did you get into the industry?
I got into the industry by chance. After spending much of my career in retail, I was looking for a change while hoping to utilize the skill set I had built over my working life. A family friend who worked in the industry asked had I ever thought about project management, and I applied for a role as a Technical Project Manager for a local authority and never looked back!
What appealed to you about the industry?
I have always had an interest in IT, I took ICT for both GCSE and A-Levels. With the IT industry evolving and growing at such a rapid rate over the last few years, I thought it would be a great time to join the tech industry and develop my career.
Tell us about your career history and what led you to License Dashboard
I started my career in retail, working in that sector for many years, both in customer service and sales, managing teams of up to 40 people. Unfortunately, I didn’t have much of a work/ life balance, so I wanted a change that would allow me to spend more time with my family. Using my pre-existing skills, I became a Technical Project Manager for a local authority where I learnt my trade and thoroughly enjoyed it. I was approached about a job opening at License Dashboard, and after researching the company, I knew it would be a great place to continue my career.

Different class! Straight away I was made to feel like one of the team and not just another number.
