Today we shine a light on our incredible Senior Sponsorship Coordinator – Linda Parke. Linda has been with the C5 group for about 6 years, progressing her skills through many different departments. Thank you, Linda, for all your hard work throughout the years! We caught up with Linda to learn a few fun tidbits about her... > How many years have you worked for C5? I have worked at C5 for approximately 5-6 years; I started at CI many years ago, took a rather long sabbatical, (around 22 years), and returned to the fold in 2021. >Have you always worked in your role? If not, what was your career progression to get where you are now? When I started at CI, I was a junior, junior, admin. CI took a chance and gave me the opportunity to show that someone without traditional ‘office skills’, could strive and thrive in a structured office environment. I learned and worked in different departments, finally settling in Event Management, with some sponsorship cross-over duties. Working in all these areas really gave me a great overview of what we truly produce – a great product and service. During my sabbatical, I also developed the skills that sponsorship required, which I could bring back to the company. >What is your favourite C5 Group event or portfolio to work on? I don’t really have a favourite event or portfolio that stands out - working different portfolios brings unique challenges and a great opportunity to learn about the subject matter and people you work with. Like a puzzle, it shows what each department brings to the table to give a complete picture of a finished event. >Describe your team in 1 word! There isn’t one word to describe my team, but a combination of Fun; Professional; Appreciative; Supportive, and so much more! They are a great group of people, and I am constantly learning from them! > Secret fun fact about you! I currently hold my Red Seal Certificates as a Chef, as well as a Master Baker-Pâtissier. Lots of transferable skills: You can work anywhere in the world, as everyone has to eat, and with C5, you can work anywhere as long as there is a desire to learn! #ACIConferences #CIConferences #C5Conferences #ThankYou #Employee #Spotlight
