About Nicky Chenery

Passion is the difference between having a job or having a career!I have stuck with this advice throughout my life professionally and personally. I never thought 20 years ago that I would now be proud of a successful career in IT having worked for some of the worlds most prestigious brands. I always knew that my strength was in relationships and one of the things you learn is that no matter how good you are at pitching, how knowledgeable you are on products or negotiating people will always buy from people. I have leveraged this strength throughout my career and found my sales training at Yell invaluable around understanding this proposition.I spent the last 10 years at Adobe and was lucky enough to play an instrumental part in their Channel business including the strategic move from their traditional perpetual business to a new SAAS model. I was part of the Global team and carried out training for partners across EMEA. I was also handpicked to take part in Adobe's Global Woman in Leadership program, this allowed me to be professionally mentored as well as being able to share some unforgettable experiences with other professional women within Adobe while we continue to work in a fairly male-dominated environment.As the business evolved through acquisition, I decided it was time to push my boundary’s and made a move across to Digital Marketing to head up the Automotive sector. This was an incredible challenge. I was really excited to be part of such an innovative part of the business and grateful to migrate into the Digital Marketing arena. The move enabled me to have a full 360 view of the company from both Digital Media and Digital Marketing and allowed me to apply a different skill set and be a key player in the Enterprise space.My move to Safety Culture has definitely been my most exciting challenge yet. Coming out of a Corp and into a startup is a huge culture shift but the most satisfying.
