Joe has had a multi-award-winning career in sales leadership spanning more than 20 years across both large businesses such as AstraZeneca and smaller businesses & start-ups. He is a firm believer in the power of strong sales leadership whilst also understanding that if he is the smartest guy in the room, he needs to invite others in. As a linebacker in college, he learned many life lessons including that there’s often a fine line between bravery and stupidity! Despite a penchant for catching alligators by hand (His record is a 5ft one) he must have stayed on the right side of that line (just) during his time at Rice as he was voted to the South-West Conference All-Academic Team 4 years in a row. Joe is a proud Texan and has three grandchildren who keep him on his toes. And of course, like a true Texan he’s got a ranch just outside Fort Worth.

Geek Director Lucy is the Geek you’ll deal with when we get to sorting contracts and invoices. She is also our wellbeing Geek and the person we all turn to for a plaster on a grazed knee or a well earned duvet day. Somehow she manages to be both hyper organised, caring and approachable. She’s the one you’ll hang out with most on a night out, she’ll dispense wisdom to sort your life out and keep you amused with innuendo aplenty. She is devoted to her two boys, Ellis and… Richard!

James is our Chief Strategy Geek Director and our Dove from above. In the dim and distant past he used to be a sonar operator in the Navy and knows a few bleeping things about sales and business growth too. Over the last decade, James has helped sell businesses for over £700m. You can find him hosting our Strategy Thursdays. Geeks find him everyday, like a benevolent child-catcher, ladened with sweets, cakes and goodies. James puts his strategic brain to use on the tennis court where his best laid plans are usually undone by his failing body!

Some said that Secret Geek is half Canadian, was once kidnapped by Norwegians in Paris and snogged a Hollywood actress. Many said that’s all made up nonsense. All we know, is that he is our constantly creative Geek. If in passing you have noticed the Sales Geek brand or liked, shared or commented on our social media then that’s our Secret Geek sauce working its magic. Graham is delighted to finally be “out of the Geek closet” and can’t wait to crack on as an official Geek. Outside of Geeklife he is kept on his toes by two boys and their endless stream of sporting activities.

Melanie is one of our Learning and Development Geeks. She has over 15 years sales experience and is like me and you – with a dog named Boo, who was rescued from a drugs den! For 6 years she helped run her family’s chicken farm, but you should never expect “poultry” returns from her training, in fact we think you will “l’oeuf” it. Fowl and obscure 70s pop references aside, Melanie is a pocket dynamo with an infectious personality and sneaky ninja training skills that will delight your sales team and get serious results.

By day Tom worked in advertising sales with some of the biggest hotel brands around from the Four Seasons to Shangri La, providing his demanding clients with sensational customer service and even better ROI. By night Tom was Dean Martin in a successful Rat Pack tribute act. So when he met the Geeks and felt the bells “ting-a-ling-a-linging” he knew (as did we) “That’s Amore!” Tom has such rare sales skills that he heads up our own sales function!!! Away from the madding crowds, Tom loves spending time with his family because he obviously understands that: “You are nobody ’til somebody loves you”

After nearly twelve years working in sales for a large bank, Amy took redundancy to spend more time with her young family and build up a childcare business. Latterly, she has lent her creative talents to contributing articles for an online magazine and editing her friend’s successful series of erotic books. It certainly gives her a unique perspective. Amy has quickly got into the ‘swing’ of things at the Bunker and fortunately hasn’t handcuffed anyone to their desks yet. We hope she continues to get a ‘buzz’ out of her Geeky work, we are definitely looking for a long-term relationship.
