Hayden Johnston’s Summary

For the past 2+ years I worked as an Account Manager at the Internet marketing company, Reinvent Technology. Reinvent owns and operates a portfolio of several hundred thousand website domain names which it monetizes through an exclusive advertising arrangement. Reinvent also syndicates its advertising arrangement to third-party (client) domain portfolio owners. As an Account Manager at Reinvent my primary role was to provide day-to-day service and support and act as the key point of contact for up to 100 major client accounts. Essentials for this position included strong interpersonal, negotiating, problem solving, organizational and analytical skills.

Prior to joining Reinvent, I worked 1+ years as an Assistant Office Manager at Grandview Screen Canada, which is the North American distribution hub of Grandview Projection Screens. At Grandview I performed a multitude of sales, marketing and administrative related tasks that ensured successful market expansion and smooth office operation. Solid communication, teamwork and time-management skills combined with an eagerness to learn and a drive to succeed were requisites for this role.
