Hello, I’m Fred. Before joining the recruitment team at Become, I spent a few years working as an Account Manager in digital and creative agencies.
I’ve always considered myself a people’s person, someone that thrives on meeting new people and building relationships. I really enjoy meeting like minded creative people who I can network with. I am also a complete and utter chatter box so the fact I get to talk all day to people makes me love my job even more.
Outside of work you will find me collecting and listening to records, travelling, watching a lot of sport and making my way through some of Sydney’s best establishments with my close group of friends.
