What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and allows for strategic growth while nurturing client relationships.

As a dynamic Business Development Manager, I have a proven track record of driving growth and fostering client relationships across diverse industries. My expertise lies in strategic planning, market analysis, and cross-functional team coordination, which has enabled me to deliver persuasive sales presentations and negotiate contracts effectively. I am committed to staying updated on industry trends to foster innovation and continuously improve business strategies.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, including a 20% increase in annual revenue through strategic planning and effective market analysis. I successfully negotiated contracts that resulted in a $1.5 million annual revenue increase and maintained a 95% client retention rate by nurturing strong client relationships. My proactive approach has led to a 30% increase in deal closures and a 15% increase in market share across previous companies.
