CSI Seeks New Communications Staff Lead

I would love the opportunity to help tell the CSI story to the world.

Recently, I have been lucky enough to work on the Board of Directors of St. Jude Community Homes, where our CEO, Angela Shaw, is very keen on the idea of people from marginalized communities 'Telling their Stories.' I also write for and edit the St. Jude's monthly newsletter, Hey Jude, as part of the story telling process.

Previously, I developed marketing strategies and strategic management ideas for Access Consulting, helping clients like Kraft Canada and Parmalat to develop online strategies to reduce their costs and risks of marketing. This was done when I helped clients focus on using the Internet in order to address their customer demands on a one-by-one basis, instead of the traditional mass-market scatter-gun approach of segmenting the market and differentiating the products/services.

As Business Analyst for The Centre for Exploitation of Science and Technology (CEST), I lead a trade mission to the US for the UK Department of Trade and Industry, Rover Cars and BAE Aerospace. We published our findings in collaboration with the IEEE.

I hold an MBA from Warwick Business School and also am a regular attendee, and one-time presenter, at Toronto Talks, a business-building network to help IT and associated managers in their network marketing chores. I enjoy writing, especially travel writing, and am passionate about leading a communications and advocacy team.

Please give me an opportunity to show my passion and ability to become CSI's new Marketing and Communication Lead. I await your contact.

Thank You

Yours sincerely,

Simon Proops
