BIO:
My name is Gabi Preston-Phypers, and my career path defies convention.
βπ§ Diagnosed with severe dyslexia in childhood, adults predicted limited success. Determined to prove them wrong, I embarked on an educational journey marked by challenges, including an initial setback with 4 U's in A-levels. Undeterred, I persevered, securing a 1:1 in Business & Economics at Bournemouth University after four intense years.
β
π« Upon leaving university, J.P. Morgan became my next challenge. My desire for a sales position was hindered by my academic background, leading to a stint in the back office. Driven to break free, I transitioned to the front office seven years later, managing major projects and earning a VP promotion. However, a realization hit: my career wasn't fulfilling.
βπΌ Despite advice to stay in banking, I took a bold leap, shifting my career entirely to a SaaS sales position. Motherhood brought a new twist, with rejection upon returning from maternity leave due to perceived attention division. Unwilling to accept this, I left the business.
π Shoulders back, I embraced the next pivot, becoming the Director of Operations in a recruitment agency. In just 12 months, I tripled revenues, transforming the business and prioritizing excellence over conformity.
β
π This journey unveiled industry talent challenges, inspiring the birth of Tooled Up Raccoons. Focused on fast-tracking candidate discovery, it has become a tech marvel, and I proudly stand as its Co-Founder.
βποΈ Beyond business, I engage with international audiences by speaking on podcasts and stages, including the Sourcing Summit in Amsterdam (2023).Β
β
πͺ As a proud mom to Phoebe (5) and Maria (2) and a wife to Mitch, my family role tops the list on my achievements. The journey has provided unparalleled lessons that no classroom could ever teach you.
βπ’Β My journey, a rollercoaster of twists and turns, both professionally and personally, has taught me that I can be whatever I believe I can be and the only person who will stop me is me.Β
β
π I'm here to inspire and support you on your path to greatness.
βπ Remember, never let anyone dictate what you can or can't achieve.Β
βπͺ Let's embrace the journey together and rock it hard!
