Women in Tech

I studied Television Production at University which fostered a passion for creativity and design. Despite having no prior experience in the ecommerce industry, those passions and transferrable skills led me to embrace an opportunity to join Shopblocks as an ecommerce Designer in 2021.

Over nearly three years, I've immersed myself in learning about the product, HTML, CSS, and UX design principles, allowing me to flourish in my role and tackle challenges with a fresh perspective.

Thanks to continued learning opportunities, Shopblocks has empowered me to confidently create innovative solutions that blend style and functionality at enterprise level.

As we approach International Women's Day, I take pride in being part of a community that celebrates diversity and supports women in tech.  Recently promoted to Graphic Designer within the marketing team, I'm eager to continue expanding my skills and contribute meaningfully to the ever-changing landscape of technology.

Four years ago, I embarked on an exciting journey with Shopblocks, bringing my background in B2B sales and DTC marketing and branding from the sports and nutrition industry into the world of tech startups. 

During my time here, I've had the privilege to impact our onboarding process, customer success and operational strategies, and now, return to my roots in marketing and branding. As the newly appointed Chief Marketing Officer, I'm fueled by the passion to ensure that our brand and cutting-edge technology connect with the right audience. I'm surrounded by a team of brilliant minds who thrive on innovation, and together, we're ready to make waves in the B2B space.

At Shopblocks, we're not just another player in the market. We're pioneers in B2B2X, and we pride ourselves on delivering the fastest time to value for scaling B2B companies seeking to evolve their ecommerce offerings. I'm honored to help lead this charge and excited for the journey ahead as we continue to innovate, and redefine the B2B ecommerce landscape.

As an office manager in the tech industry, I aim to challenge the gender norms associated with administrative roles. Rather than being confined to stereotypical tasks such as HR and diary management, I see my role as crucial for overall business support.

By stepping back from the core product, I gain a unique perspective that helps to identify overlooked gaps.

My journey into tech stems from a curiosity driven interest. In my previous role I helped to manage a fashion ecommerce platform, piquing my interest in the ecommerce industry.

When I came across the opportunity at Shopblocks, I saw it as a chance to not only continue my career in office management, but also to delve deeper into one of the fastest growing, and ever evolving industries. Being a woman in tech during this transformative era is very exciting, offering opportunities to challenge stereotypes and contribute meaningfully.

I joined Shopblocks with no prior experience of the tech industry, however my transferable project management and leadership skills created a pathway to success.

I have a strong ability to identify problems and implement innovative solutions quickly.  I am extremely passionate about the work I do, and I bring this energy to every task I undertake. My enthusiasm positively influences my team members, and I have found it helps us achieve our goals more effectively.

My passion drives me to consistently perform above expectations.

Starting out as an Executive Assistant, I've settled into the tech world as Chief Customer Officer.

It's been a journey of growth and adaptation, learning the ropes and rolling up my sleeves.

Now, my focus is all about making sure our customers are not just happy, but thriving. I lead a team that's all about understanding what our clients want and need, and making sure they get it.

I'm not just about the tech stuff; building real relationships and making sure our clients feel like part of the family is crucial in this fast-paced industry.

I have always been interested in the IT industry.

Having tried a few different roles, I finally decided to follow my passion and retrained to become a website developer. Transferring my skills in this way,  leveraged my strong technical skills and led me to an opportunity at Shopblocks!

It has been the craziest journey, in the best possible way! I started as a support agent, and now, after two years of learning the product and pushing  innovation, I am leading the Technical Support Team.

As a team leader, I not only prioritise client happiness and satisfaction but also contribute my extensive tech expertise to enhance our processes, guide my team mates and ensure optimal performance.

I am excited for the next steps in my tech career.

As an experienced bookkeeper, I have worked in finance teams across a range of industries from property to yachting.  

My knowledge and experience was easily transferred to the tech industry when I joined Shopblocks some 4 years ago.  

As a bookkeeper for a scaling ecommerce platform, it is crucial for me to maintain accurate financial records and ensure the smooth financial operations of the business. I support financial decision-making, and ensure compliance with financial regulations, ultimately contributing to the success and growth of the business.

It is great to work amongst such a supportive team of women who champion each other in our various pursuits. 

During my teens, I explored the digital side of art, finding a passion for graphic design using tools like the Adobe Creative Suite.
