Ten years ago I was attempting to build my solo law practice. I had been fired from a position chasing ambulances for sticking to my moral ground. At the time I thought it was the worst thing that could happen and was fairly devastated.
With very limited clients, I needed a "second job" for a steady paycheck, health insurance, etc. as I got my practice on its' feet. There was a temporary position open at a call center 7 minutes away from my house. The hours were 11:30am to 8:00pm meaning I could make a 9:00am court appearance and hopefully not be too late for my shift. I planned on being there 4 to 6 months. Ten years later I'm writing this post.
Taking shareholder calls all day long taught me what Computershare does at the very core level. I was given the opportunity to learn shareholder needs, and by extension, issuer needs. Shortly thereafter I was helping to a manage teams of call center representatives. A special project making outbound calls to private companies put me on the path to be one of the first hires to Computershare's Private Markets team. That position entailed a little product development, a little relationship management, a little sales enablement, and a whole lot of figuring it out as we built.
Sales enablement turned into a quota carrying sales position with a dedicated territory. I focused on companies going through an IPO, companies issuing private equity, and those issuing tokenized securities. My hybrid role now includes some direct sales but enables me to do so much beyond that. As Director of Strategic Pursuits, I get to provide technical and SME support to the sales organization, help architect strategic solutions for clients, educate the legal community through presentations and CLE classes, and develop relationships with service providers in the private markets space to foster collaboration.
Computershare can be so much more than just a job. It can truly offer a career path you may have never considered.
