This month we meet with Emma Gill. Business Development Manager at Eternal Engagements…
First Job?
My first job was part time silver service at the age of 16, but didnt last long as i dropped bowls of chicken! first proper job was working at the GAP and after university – selling coffee machines
How would you introduce yourself in an elevator pitch?
I like to see myself as a detective, to understand each and every clients needs. For me the client comes first and it is important that i can relate to them and build honest trusting relationships that will last a life time no matter what role I play.
Biggest Career achievement?
My whole career! i love all my jobs as they have all taught me new things. My achievement is having the opportunity to be versatile and work in so many industries from creating a brand new global luxury jewelry unit to creating new white label products!
Nickname?
‘Little miss popular’ given to me by friends and colleagues, as i like to surround myself with happy, sociable and intellectual people. I love learning about people and how we all grow wearing different hats and having different personalities – as this is what makes the world go round!
What is it about the job that you enjoy?
I love learning about businesses, how they have grown and what made them start a business. I have the opportunity to travel and be in different environments with no 2 days being the same.
Who inspires you?
The world and all the different types of people that makes it work! My family, my company i work for and business owners as i learn from different generations and can be inspired by many different aspects.
Favorite Film?
I am a romantic at heart and love comedy, so anything that makes me gush or laugh! i do love reading about the psychology of people so neuroscience and autobiographies are my go-to for books.
What did you want to be when you grew up?
An actress! which is why i love what i do because i can change to suit any environment.
First single you bought?
Cassetts were sold as singles – showing my age! i bought LL cool J for a school assignment where we had to listen and understand what each sentence meant
What are the company’s most significant challenges, and how do you think we are positioned to meet them?
The biggest challenge is change, people dont like change even when it could be for the better. So its important to explain every detail and sometimes change the mindset in doing something more efficiently that works with our forever moving universe.
