This week I'm in conversation with Dionne Clarke-Emtage. Dionne joined a major telecommunications company two and a half years ago as Commercial Manager in St. Vincent. Within a year, she was promoted to the Head of Mobile Operations in that country overseeing six departments. Returning to Barbados, she was appointed as the Head of Commercial with the key responsibility of driving the strategy and implementation of products and revenue in the Barbados. Within six months was promoted to Director of Sales & Service overseeing all aspects of sales and service for both the traditional mobile business and the new cable & broadband service.

A similar pattern exists in her early career from humble beginnings as a temporary worker holding down a summer job to becoming the Assistant to the Regional Chief Operating Officer for another telecommunications giant in a few short years.

Her early days however saw her pursuing a different goal exploring her more creative side. She had her own editorial in a local newspaper at the age of 16, and her own publication launched at the age of 17. She is the winner of several national and regional writing and speech competitions and continues to pursue her love of writing by publishing her first novel in 2015 with several more lined up in the upcoming year.

She is a mother and a wife first and foremost and has dedicated her life to God and can attest her success to her relationship with her higher power.
