#LicenseDashboardDiscusses

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.

 

What’s your experience of working at License Dashboard so far?

How would you describe the culture at License Dashboard?

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