Born in Kuwait to a Kenyan mother and British father, Jess has always had travel in her blood. After studying a rather bizarre combined degree of History of Art and Information Studies (tech) she joined a villa rental company in London and the rest is history.
Since then she has done nearly 25 years of marketing (and latterly sales) with some of the best luxury operators in the world.
For the past decade of her working life, she has been searching for the perfect system. Something that can do it all - manage leads, sales pipelines, quotes, proposals, invoicing, support marketing, reporting - and look beautiful all at the same time. The Golden Egg.
We’re fairly convinced the Golden Egg doesn’t exist and she’s realized that the best eggs aren’t Golden, but rather scrambled on toast.
She’s come to Safari Portal because she says we’re the best proposal platform out there and knows our super power isn’t being a bit of everything, but being the best at something. And obviously we're a great fun bunch of lovely humans.
Her husband is also part of the travel industry and they both work from their cottage in a village called Abbotts Ann in Hampshire, UK.
