Carbon Solutions Group

Business Development Intern

I was responsible for new business development; this included, but was not limited to, cold calling/emailing prospective clients and maintaining a database of current and potential clients. In addition, I acted as the first line of contact for prospective clients, which included identifying customers' needs and providing the necessary support. While in this role, I also conducted weekly policy meetings with the CEO and Regulatory Affairs Manager to discuss the implications of current and future energy policy on business practices, which included potential risks and opportunities. From these experiences, I gained the ability to think practically regarding legislation, and its effects on business.
