Joseph Furman - Business Development Manager

In my role, I am responsible for the start-to-finish process of growing our position in the market through new business partnerships, as well as the internal strategy behind how we execute business development initiative.
Every day is different, but there’s always a ton to do. Whether it be new business meetings, taking prospective clients into the early scoping stages through to developing partnerships, or working with Mike to promote new strategies that make our sales processes more efficient for us and others to practice (especially with how that’s communicated to other teams that may not be on the BD side)
What do you do outside of your 9-5?
Most of my time is spent with family, as well as my dog (son). I also really enjoy being active and working out, trying my best to take part in the sports I swore I was good at 10 years ago. Other than that I also enjoy cooking, but I would get berated by Gordon Ramsey if he ever was there to witness it.
If you were to host a dinner party and could invite two guests, dead or alive - who would it be?
My Dad & my Grandpa. I lost my Grandpa when I was younger, and my father is my best friend. My Dad talks about my Grandpa in the same way that I talk about him. It would be incredible to have a chance as men to sit down and share those thoughts with each other.
