Burberry, London headquarters
Burberry is a luxury goods global fashion brand. I was part of the team responsible for the accurate data entry required to allow for the switchover of Burberry beauty products to be produced in house as opposed to by a licensing company. This required high attention to detail and accuracy as the data I generated had an impact of real product. I also helped in the Product Lifecycle management team helping with administration tasks and creating PowerPoint presentations for meetings.
