Meet Emma: The Passionate BDR with a Love for Cheese and Recognition
Hey there, fellow cheese enthusiasts and gardening gurus! Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Emma, an interior and gardening aficionado hailing from the beautiful land of Ireland. When I'm not busy being a mum to my adorable little boy, Charlie, and spending quality time with my lovely husband, Phil, you'll often find me upcycling something or tending (ensuring they don’t die!) to my precious hydrangeas. Ah, the joys of multitasking!
Now, let me share a few fun facts about myself. First and foremost, I am an absolute cheese fanatic. So much so that during the pandemic, I embarked on a gourmet cheese and charcuterie platter adventure called The Delicate Fig. It was a massive hit, although my house always smelled like a cheese factory!
Apart from my cheesy endeavors, I love spending time outdoors, there’s nothing quite like basking in the beauty of nature, exploring around, and taking in the fresh Irish air.. And sun when we have it, this exam season weather is serving us well right now!
When it comes to my professional journey, I've always had a knack for working with people. The Irish gift of the gab, as they say. Building relationships and engaging with prospects has been a passion of mine throughout my career. Since joining Workhuman, I've found a team that truly embodies the spirit of collaboration and support, even in the remote work and hybrid work era. We work hard, but we also know how to have a great time together we do and the support and encouragement is endless.
I’ve worked in sales pretty much my whole life, I grew up in a house where my parents were self-employed and always appreciated the power of hard work and determination. I've worked in various industries, from travel to luxury automotive, now the world of tech is definitely my favourite. Workhuman, with its unique culture and dedicated employees, was on my radar for a while. When the opportunity to join as a BDR arose, I jumped at the chance.
One of the highlights of my professional journey was transitioning from an outside sales role to a BDR position. Initially daunting, it allowed me to learn the ropes of the role while immersing myself in the company's values and processes. With the guidance of my exceptional Account Executives, I've grown into a strong team member, continuously learning and embracing new challenges. We're currently working on some exciting opportunities within EMEA, and I'm thrilled to see what the future holds.
Passionate, kind, and hardworking—these are the three words my team members would use to describe me. But enough about me, let's talk about the big plans for Workhuman. It's an incredibly exciting time, especially for our EMEA team. We've been making waves in the HR community and there is so much customer potential within EMEA. As we expand, we're not only building a successful company but also a community that fosters a culture of recognition worldwide. Our mission is to ensure every organization knows the power of appreciation and its impact on employee engagement and well-being.
If you're considering a similar career path, my advice is simple, go for it! The hardest part is taking that first step, but once you join Workhuman, you'll find unwavering support, encouragement, and ample opportunities to grow both personally and professionally. There’s so much more to Workhuman than just a job, the office is beautiful, events are fun and engaging and the people are so friendly. (The food’s pretty good too!)
Without our humans, it’s just work. We. Are. Workhuman.Opens in a new tab
