He spots talent based on our OSTI and PCMI resources and then uses his own innate recruitment talent to attract very talented individuals to our open opportunities.” How has AJ saved the day? Ralph shared, “AJ helped CMG Miami rebuild our sales department. He has led recruitment efforts that began our 3-year transformation, replacing almost 70% of our sales department.” Anna McGovern, GM at MediaWorks, Orewa, New Zealand Nominated by Karen Hughes, Account Manager with MediaWorks New Zealand, who explained that Anna’s superhuman powers include both selecting and developing talented people. She went on to share, “Anna is both the Sales Manager and the General Manager at Mediaworks in Orewa. Her strength is recognising talented people with the organisation and offering them new opportunities in Sales. You won't find a more positive & encouraging Sales Manager than Anna. She consistently provides constructive feedback and shares insights…” Elaborating on how Anna has saved the day for MediaWorks, Karen said, “A real superhero doesn't do just one 'act' but instead they silently work away, consistently doing small and big acts to ensure people and processes run right. Anna fights fires on a daily basis, whether it be attending challenging client meetings and helping to ease relationship tension or working out solutions for clients when 'plan A' is no longer available. It's always collaborative & thus in turn means that she is helping to grow her sales team into future superheroes!”
