Meet Jody - Stores to Head Office

I was lucky enough to start my career in London's Westfield Shopping Centre as a Store Leader for O2. I have a lot of great memories from that time building a successful team, of which, many have gone on to lead their own teams. I continued to work across a number of stores in London over the next few years and at the latter part of that time, I tried to look for any opportunity to grow my network and worked on a number of projects alongside the 'day job' within my Region and Territory to develop my skills and experience further. What I learned is if you find something that you are enthusiastic about, try to get involved whenever and at whatever level you can.
