Ross Kent
Sales Director, Winchester
My professional career over the last six years has been centred in the high technology industry, both successfully selling from inside it and to it. I took the opportunity to start supplying the software sector I know well with a quality staffing solution as a headhunter for senior commercial positions on a Pan-European basis in 2000.
I attribute my success to hard work, integrity, strong commercial judgement and high personal motivation.
My background has given me a great breadth of experience on which to draw, with the sales background essential to growing a business quickly, tempered with strong acumen and business management skills to sustain that growth and build a business to be successful and profitable in the long-term.

3 contactsWinchester is a boutique consultancy specialising in mid-senior level search and I manage a highly knowledgable and successful team of consultants whose aim it is to qualify and motivate candidates for client specific opportunities and to manage exceptional individuals' careers towards reaching their medium to long-term goals. The company is pan-european with offices in the UK, France and Germany and over the last year we have completed assignments in the UK, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Austria, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Luxemburg and as part of our expansion South Africa.
2002 - 2003Working with a former co-worker I decided to start my own business specialising in the recruitment of sales people across Europe to the IT marketplace. Having fostered strong relations with former clients and by bringing on new business we achieved a profitable and sustainable business within 3 months. The role I carried out mirrored very closely the function I previously fulfilled at ECI but with the added responsibility of the day-to-day running of the business.
