  • Work closely with consulting teams to align client needs with internal capabilities.
  • Monitor market trends, competitor activity, and emerging client demands to inform strategic planning.
  • Represent the company at industry events, trade shows, and networking forums, promoting the activities and services that the Actica Group provides.
