Background
Summary
I am injecting 20 years of experience in marketing and business development and my Dinahmo 'oomph', as one of my clients called it, into helping businesses achieve growth. Consistency with business values sits at the heart of most successful businesses and my approach refers closely to that, whether you are looking to build new propositions/products, communicate your brand message or improve customer relationships.
I'm known for my tenacity and for opening doors and building networks - the keys to any successful venture!
Having built successful business ventures off the back of business networking, I am also now sharing my strategies with individuals and companies who want to put business networking at the heart of their business development plans.
Specialties:* Business networking for business or career development - workshops and coaching
- * Merger & Acquisition communications and integration
- * Marketing and business planning
- * Market/proposition development and launch
- * Account management planning
- * Corporate culture and brand integration
- * Campaign and event management

I have found the Payments Forward Network an excellent way of networking with Industry colleagues as well as partaking in very interesting and appropriate discussions. The format of these events works very well and allows enough time for participation and networking. Dinah also has access to a very high calibre speaker pool and each of the debates / presentations has been excellent and very topical.
I would strongly recommend the PFN, and Dinah, for the very professional and innovative approach to facilitating discussion, debate and networking amongst the wider Payments community.less
