Business development executive specializing in AI, cloud, ERP, and digital transformation.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven business development executive with deep experience selling Business Transformation, Digital and Cloud, ERP, Data & Analytics, Supply Chain, and Managed Services to Fortune 1000 clients. I excel as a hunter for net-new logos and drive up-sell and cross-sell opportunities across CPG, Retail, manufacturing, and other sectors, orchestrating global teams and alliance partnerships (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, AWS, Google, Blue Yonder) to deliver measurable business outcomes.
Throughout my career I have built large pipelines and closed multi-million-dollar programs, including transformational outsource deals and ERP transformations, while championing consultative, outcome-focused sales. I prioritize trust, cross-functional collaboration, and leveraging emerging technologies—especially AI/GenAI, cloud, and data platforms—to turn strategy into execution and sustained client value.
