Our Team
Zainab Sullivan
I’m Zainab, the Co-Founder of SQLDBA, and I’ll help clarify my role by telling a bit about me and how my skillset fits into the company ethos and adds value to our clients.
Naturally a people's person and passionate about working with people from a culturally diverse background and from different walks of life, I’ve learned that each person has their own story and their own drivers and goals. I enjoy doing business by listening and focussing on the clients' problems, especially those faced in the information sector. Thereafter, with my highly-skilled team of technical solution specialists, we discuss the issues that a client is facing, and by focussing on some ideas that will benefit the client we presenting high-value options to implement solutions that work to meet the client’s needs. My focus is most importantly to deliver great results, save our clients time and unnecessary additional costs, that are usually not needed. Time is money for any client.
I have a passion for helping others succeed and reach their goals. Working closely with clients in understanding their goals and then working just as closely with our technical team to deliver those goals, helps all of us succeed.
As the inhouse commercial, legal and account manager, I ensure there is an ongoing trust relation between SQLDBA and our valued client where you will have complete trust and peace of mind as a client that we stand by our word to deliver what we agree to.
​With over 20 years of experience in managing diverse asset portfolios for high net-worth clients, delivering business critical projects I help clients meet their business requirements. A strong mix of account management and a strong legal background ensures that we got you fully covered.
