Along with selling StreamYard Business, I am enabling various teams to sell StreamYard Business and qualify potential customers. I also work closely with our product and marketing teams.

StreamYard Sales & Enablement

I started at Hopin in October 2020 and was one of the first SDRs in the sales team, I absolutely loved being a part of the growth of Hopin as a company and the team. In December 2020 we acquired StreamYard and I moved over in April 2021 to start the StreamYard sales team as the first salesperson, for the launch of our new StreamYard Business plan.

Brand Manager

Walt Disney World

Whilst I was studying for my degree, I spent my summers living and working in the U.S.A. I fell in love with travel, I have been fortunate enough to have travelled to over 60 countries. After graduating from University, I started working on cruise ships and fell in love with the sea. 

After spending a long time travelling the world, I decided to make a career change and pursue a career in travel and sales. I then went on to progress within the industry to combine my love for cruising by specialising in cruise sales. I was an integral part of starting the cruise sales at my company. 

When the pandemic hit the travel and cruise industry took a huge knock and I sadly left the industry, which I loved, to continue my career in sales but this time in the Tech industry. I am very excited to be a part of a tech start up company and share my passion for technology with others.

I would love to hear from you, if StreamYard Business or Hopin is something you want to learn more about, please don't hesitate to reach out to me april@hopin.to
