My Company

Katie Towers’s Summary

I started my career in corporate travel and soon joined American Express as a Team Leader and then Operations Manager. I worked with some key clients including Kellogg Australia, Cisco Systems, Gartner and Nestle.

I then moved in an Account Managers role with HRG Worldwide & managed a 20 million dollar client portfolio including Oracle, Kerry Ingredients, Baxter Healthcare, Equant and BNP Paribas. My passionate, friendly but professional manner and my ability to consistently provide high cost saving initiatives to my clients saw me succeed in this role.

I Commenced my career in recruitment with AA Appointments in Sydney. I gained experience recruiting in the call centre, account management, operations management, sales executive and salessupport spaces. I had a sound track record recruiting for Virgin Blue, American Express Corporate, Malaysia Airlines and Carlson Marketing. My clients respected my down to earth and honest approach to recruitment and my knowledge of the industry.

One of my key achievements was to win the AA Appointments Consultant of the Year Award within my first 6 months at the company.

Joining RSP I moved into Sales & Marketing specialising in IT sales roles across the infrastructure space. After a successful 18 months at RSP I have recently joined Ethos Corporation to continue my specialistion in IT infrastructure sales and senior management.

I believe in building quality, long term relationships with my clients and candidates and invest a lot of time in doing so. I bring a consultative approach to recruitment and pride myself and really listening to peoples career goals and matching them with like minded organisations.
