After 2 years as Revenue Manager for a city centre hotel in Leeds, I have reached the point where I am ready to progress my career, seek new challenges
and develop new skills.
I am currently looking for a new position of Business or Information Analyst within a dynamic and growing company. I enjoy a fast paced and diverse
working environment, as well as working as part of a successful team, however I am equally capable of working individually and on my own initiative.
I graduated from a top French Business School with a Masters Degree 2 years ago which has prepared me to work in any type of industry and given me a
wide range of skills and abilities with a specialisation in Strategy and Statistics. I have put these to good use and also developed further expertise
in my 2 years as Revenue Manager.
My everyday work can easily be compared to that of a Business Analyst. I am responsable for analyzing the businss needs to help identify business
problems and put in place action plans as well as offering solutions. My everyday objective is to achieve and exceed targets.
My current work includes sales and competitor analysis (using historic data and future projections), as well as actions on pricing, ideal mix,
forecast, sales action plan. This and other analysis contribute to define the sales strategy of the hotel, which I am actualising/communicating on a
daily basis in order to optimise the company revenue.
I am also required to regularly communicate figures (analysis, results and forecast) and recommendations to a non finance audience which can be done in
several different ways: verbal, PowerPoint presentations, spreadsheets etc.
Whilst I have put these skills to good use in my current position, these tasks and abilities can easily be adapted to any other kind of industry.
I am a highly motivated, driven and enthusiastic employee who has good attention to detail, great communication skills, diverse technical knowledge and
an ability for problem solving and solution finding. All these qualities coupled together have enabled me to be successful within my current role and
achieve great results which contributed to the hotel ending 2008 as one of the top 5 Accor Hotels in the UK in terms of financial results.
