This role reports to Kylene Jones, Sr. Director of Retail Solutions, North America

Over the past decade, I've worked globally (London, US, Australia and New Zealand) at start-ups and prior to that was a Management Consultant at Boston Consulting Group, and PwC. I am a generalist at heart, and love working with high-performing teams (hungry, humble and smart) to solve problems that help the community. And we are doing exactly that here at Auror. I love working for a company that is mission focussed, is making a difference and truly keeps communities and individuals safer every day. I’m excited that we are building our Sales function in North America and am looking forward to bringing on team players who want to win. Outside of work, you’ll find me outdoors, whether it’s hiking (US National parks are something else), skiing, surfing or swimming. I also love travelling with my husband and hosting friends at our place. You can check out my Linkedin profile here.
