What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a leadership role where I can drive revenue and profitability through data-driven systems, strengthen client relationships, and partner across teams. I thrive where execution meets thoughtful strategy and measurable KPIs.

I’m a strategic business leader with over a decade of experience building leadership, optimizing operations, and guiding high-stakes business decisions. I’m known for increasing sales while implementing scalable systems that improve profitability and long-term performance.

In my current role as an Executive Account Manager, I manage client projects, pricing, and delivery to maintain profitability, while driving inside/outside sales and growing the client base. Previously, as a Fractional Digital Creator and Business Consulting leader, I grew sales and in-home presentation KPIs by 25% within 6 months as an interim manager and coached historically underserved businesses to achieve 40% to 80% income growth in 12 months.

I bring a strong go-to-market and operational foundation—improving revenue in key markets by 50%, building digital assets like websites and funnels, and onboarding 80+ B2B clients in six weeks. I also combine risk-aware, data-driven decision support with client relationship management, and I extend that same leadership mindset through international online and live training programs and community work that helped raise over $1.5M for nonprofit initiatives.
