For over a decade, Ash O'Connor has built her career in tech sales.

​

But what shaped her career most wasn't what she learned at Dropbox or Zendesk. It was something she learned from her dad growing up.

​

Her dad was the Head of HR at one of the UK's largest banks and, as a kid, he taught her one of the most overlooked elements of a successful career: your ability to land the right next job offer.

​

He taught Ash that every top company has a process for shortlisting applicants, marking interviews and deciding on salary ranges. And once you understand those patterns, you can use them to accelerate your career.

​

Ash first applied these learnings herself, earning 6 promotions in 7 years and going from earning €45,000 as an SDR straight out of college to €200,000+ within just five years.

​

She then began sharing everything she'd learned from both her dad and from running hundreds of interviews and hiring dozens of sellers as a Sales Leader at Zendesk.

​

Since founding SkillTribe in 2023, Ash has helped 200+ Account Executives, Account Managers and Sales Leaders secure offers at some of the world's most competitive tech companies.

​

Today, she continues to test, refine and improve the exact strategies used to stand out and land top offers in an ultra-competitive market, removing the guesswork and months of frustration that make the job market so painful. 

​

She remains deeply passionate about focusing on the right next move, as her experience taught her that in tech sales, nothing matters more for your career than the next offer you sign.
