You’ll be reporting to Mark Gleeson, UK Regional Director.
I joined Auror in 2022 from another SaaS company as the Global Partnership Director and have previous experience in consulting for the Big 4 at KPMG, and spent time in the military. I’m enormously passionate about mental fitness and wellbeing, particularly in the workplace, and I’m absolutely delighted to have joined Auror where the culture is first class. Outside of Auror I can be found climbing mountains, running marathons & supporting veterans. I’m excited to work with outgoing individuals that are looking to build and maintain long lasting partnerships with our exceptional partners.
