Ana Ireland
@anaireland
B2B sales and partnerships consultant at Upwork, Zignify, Fyre Europe and getax.io, building startup sales foundations and partner pipelines.
What I'm looking for
At getax.io, I built the commercial foundation as the solo sales lead in a three-person startup, shaping sales strategy, marketing input and target-market priorities. I also defined target customers and countries and prepared outreach sequences for SMEs in Portugal.
With Fyre Europe, I helped build the sales function and generated 60 leads in Portugal, securing qualified meetings with FMCG brands and POS partners across Italy, Spain and Portugal. At Zignify Global Product Sourcing, I managed full-cycle sales and represented the business at trade shows.
At Tribe, Social Membership, I was the first hire and acquired and managed a portfolio of more than 200 B2B partner venues. I developed account strategies, supported retention, and used performance reporting and data analysis to inform business decisions.
At Fiotec (Bio-Manguinhos), I built strategic vendor partnerships for public health initiatives and negotiated contracts above USD 5M. I’m seeking an Account Executive position at Codacy, where I can apply my sales strategy and relationship-building skills to support selling market-leading solutions and driving customer retention.
