Nielsen 20 July 2016 To the team at Nielsen Position: Operations Executive I wish to apply for the Operations Executive role0020at Nielsen. I am currently a full-time MBA candidate (Class of 2017) at AGSM, UNSW Business School. I am currently working with VRcade Australia, a virtual reality gaming company, in the role of Marketing and Strategy Wizard where I am in a lead role helping develop the strategy for the firm to build their brand perception in the market. I am also involved in running the pilot experiments for the gaming cafes at malls and universities to conduct both quantitative and qualitative market research that will help us redefine customer segments and customer value propositions. I am also developing marketing communications strategy based on competitor analysis and market analysis that I did, strengthening the first mover advantage of the firm. Previously I have worked as a senior software engineer with HP as an employee of Mphasis, which was majority owned by HP. One of my responsibilities was to support the project management efforts of my superiors by liaising with clients and customers based in 18 countries spread across 5 continents. This role involved understanding customer's "jobs that need to be done" and provide software/IT solutions based on that understanding of the problem statements. I was an essential connection between the clients and the development team, leveraging the team resources to help create solutions that make our customers become more productive. For example, my team reduced lead time in processing of transactions by 1.5 days, winning appreciation from the customer CIO. I am also a blogger with many articles going viral on Quora.com. I write extensively on many topics, including on technology and business, and garnered 4 million web views in 9 months, which is a high number for that particular social media platform. I am also the editor at the Star Magazine, which is the student business magazine published by AGSM where we help build and reinforce the brand image of the business school in Australia. I believe I can add value to the company by melding my innate creative abilities, my business knowledge and my professional experience in both software engineering and marketing function, ensuring I will outperform the expectations of the role. Thank you for considering my application and I look forward to hearing from you to discuss my application further. Please find my resume attached.
