Résumé

I am currently working in the role of Client Communications Executive for Anthony Gregg Partnership based in the town of Henley-in-Arden, United Kingdom. Within this role I predominantly work on Marketing, Account Management, as well as Social Media Strategy and Researching, all within the Retail Sector. Having graduated originally as a Games Developer from BCU in 2012, my enthusiasm for new technologies is now channeled into my day job. In my previous role, it was my job to assist new and existing technical authors in bringing an idea to life and eventual publication. I also had the opportunity to work on a revolutionary initiative, bridging the gap between publishing mediums and also moving into the vertical spaces that developers work within I have worked on over 70 projects in my two years here at Packt and finished 2013 with the second most successful book (Machine Learning with R) and last year, 2014, with the third most successful book (Practical Data Science). I have also other titles finishing within Packt's top ten in both 2013 and 2014. I am a firm believer in producing quality titles that are exactly what the community expects and through market research and successful networking, this has and continues to be achieved. According to Book-scanner, my project, Machine Learning with R, taken from Idea to Publication was Packt Publishing's best-selling book of 2014.
