Spotlight on a career path: Paul, Business Development Consultant
- by Maria Sandu
I came to work for Oracle in November 2012 as a Customer
Intelligence Representative and since then I was promoted to a Business
Development Consultant, for Commercial Industries in the UK, based in Dublin.
My background was
primarily in Logistics, working for such companies as Indaver Ireland,
Wincanton and P&O. I spent 10 years working in this industry and gained
experience in negotiating with customers and suppliers in order to meet the
needs of both, monitoring the quality and quantity of goods as well as the
efficiency and organisation of the movement and storage of products.
I decided to move from my logistics career in 2009 to study
Information Technology in D.I.T. This
was a challenge for me to move my career path; however the lectures at the
college helped me significantly with the ability to understand how IT can have
an effect on how businesses operate.
Following on from
college I came to work for Oracle. This also presented challenges but the training I received and
the encouragement from management helped me understand that the same business
rules apply no matter what background you come from. I have also learnt that
using my past experience in working with customers and suppliers in Logistics
has helped me understand how to meet customer’s needs.
Oracle has offered me excellent training such as Sandler
Sales Techniques and John Costigan. I continue to get all the training that I
need to develop my career.
