Since then I have learnt on the job, learning and developing my skills to enhance our product offering, as well as establishing many great partnerships along the way. I’m excited to take on the new challenge of Head of Product at a monumental time for AttractionWorld, as the company transforms and adapts to a whole new world, where we accelerate in innovation and deliver the best product to all our customers.”
