Head of all of Libri's import activities, encompassing both academic and professional titles, as well as fiction and mass market programmes. My position involved much strategy planning and close consultation with major publishers in the UK and in the US. I was involved in every aspect of the international book trade, including assessing the suitability of publishers to our programme, negotiating deals on terms and conditions, managing stock control, and marketing our range of titles throughout Europe.

Trade Officer
British Consulate-General
My task was to establish, facilitate and support business relationships between British and German companies, particularly in the area of consumer goods. This involved in-depth market analysis of various industries in Germany, followed by a market report for use by UK companies. Compiling these reports required me to analyse and translate much German-language market information into English. I also represented the government organisation UK Trade & Investment at various fairs and conferences around Europe.
