What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role where I can drive digital commerce and revenue growth, build high-performing teams, and apply data-driven strategies in a fast-paced, growth-oriented company.

I am a dynamic sales and business development leader with 10+ years of experience delivering double-digit revenue growth, building high-performing teams, and negotiating multimillion-dollar partnerships across FMCG, e-commerce, and technology. I have led strategic transformations of digital commerce functions, managed large portfolios (e.g., $48M+), and consistently delivered market-share and profitability improvements through data-driven decision making and ROI-focused agreements.

I launch and scale ventures and design go-to-market and digital engagement strategies that increase visibility and client traction, particularly in AI, data science, and software engineering verticals. I empower cross-functional teams, drive operational efficiencies, and champion sustainability and change management while prioritizing talent development and collaborative leadership.
