I now work as a Customer Lead at iRise, a medium-sized enterprise behind
an innovative platform that helps organisations build better
applications and software.
My role is to design and direct
demonstration/proof-of-concept activities with prospective customers and
manage strategic customer accounts, across Europe, Middle East and
Africa.
My career in this industry started just before I got my Ph.D.
in early 2009, beginning at Capgemini as a Junior Business Analyst and
continuing at CGI (formerly Logica) as a UX/UI Lead.
The degree
earned at the Psychology Department at UCL proved to be a key
differentiator and most probably essential to my career progression –
specifically, by providing me with expert knowledge of aspects of human
visual perception that gave me an important edge in my early UX/UI,
human- computer interaction, and systems design roles, and more
generally through the exposure to and collaboration with so many
talented people and cutting-edge research teams that imprinted on me
their exceptional work ethic, high standards, and a singular drive in
the pursuit of excellence.
