What I'm looking for

I seek a competitive, growth-oriented team role where I can drive revenue, build lasting relationships, and leverage data-driven outbound strategies while growing into greater leadership responsibility.

I am a former professional athlete who transitioned into high-performing sales and business development, known for building trust, closing deals, and exceeding targets in high-pressure environments. I combine elite communication, resilience, and a data-driven outbound approach to consistently book meetings and convert prospects into clients.

My experience spans inside sales, business development, and international partnership development, with proven success using Salesforce and Orum, managing full sales cycles, and supporting cross-functional teams to ensure client success and retention. I also bring international experience from professional sports, cross-cultural communication in Korean, and a track record of leadership and published work that informs my competitive, team-oriented sales ethos.
