Results-driven sales representative growing markets through quality and cost control.
IcelandWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven sales professional with experience in sales, project supervision, and construction operations. I’ve proven that I can grow sales, support market expansion, and manage quality and cost control across projects of varying scale.
In my recent role at Laxa Asum Angling Club (2022–2025), I drove 15% sales growth in my first year and 25% in my second year. I also supported expansion into new markets, including Russia and the Middle East, while coordinating project work and ensuring strong quality control.
Earlier, I led construction development at Tvidrangar ehf (2013–2021) and worked in operations leadership at Alcoa Aluminum Iceland (2009–2013), combining hands-on supervision with practical compliance. I monitor project costs, oversee quality, and ensure environmental standards are met—bringing commercial awareness and disciplined execution to every engagement.
