Festus said, “I have 21 years sales and business development experience. I joined SkilledUp Life as Regional Team Lead Volunteer before I was promoted to Head of Global Sales. The reason I volunteered with SkilledUp Life was to get experience in the Tech Industry. During my volunteering with SkilledUp Life I was able to make use of sales tools like HubSpot, Apollo just to mention a few, which impacted greatly into my experience in Tech and also these skills I gained in SkilledUp Life actually helped me to land a remote job in an EdTech company as Head of Sales and Business Development. I’m grateful to have applied for this opportunity and I would gladly recommend SkilledUp Life to anyone seeking to transition in his or her career. Thank you.
