What I'm looking for

I seek a growth-oriented sales role where I can lead strategic partnerships, scale revenue, and collaborate cross-functionally to drive measurable business impact.

I am a results-driven Business Development Manager with over 10 years of experience closing complex deals, building strategic partnerships, and scaling revenue across diverse industries. I specialize in creating and executing sales strategies that convert leads and expand market presence.

Throughout my career I have led end-to-end sales processes for SaaS, research, and consulting services, optimized lead generation with marketing, and fostered cross-functional collaboration to align business goals. Notable achievements include implementing strategies that increased revenue by 75% (accounting for $600K) and delivering top sales results generating approximately $500K in 2017.

I bring strong skills in client relationship management, negotiation, CRM systems, and team leadership, and I am committed to driving measurable business outcomes through data-informed sales initiatives and high-impact client engagements.
