What I'm looking for
I am a result-driven sales professional with a strong track record in new business acquisition, account management, and client retention. My career has been marked by a proven ability to exceed targets and penetrate markets, particularly within the healthcare and government sectors. I thrive on building rapport with clients and leveraging my knowledge of industry trends to drive sales growth.
Currently, I serve as the Head of Channel for Thrive Sciences, where I lead new business initiatives and manage distribution across NHS trusts and government bodies in the UK and Ireland. My previous roles have equipped me with extensive experience in developing strategies for market share growth and establishing channel partnerships. I have successfully driven sales for specialized antimicrobial solutions and eco-friendly cleaning products, consistently exceeding sales targets and fostering strong relationships with major international companies.
Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in pipeline management and communication, ensuring that I not only meet but exceed client expectations. My commitment to professional development is evident through my participation in intensive sales training programs, and I am always eager to learn and adapt to new challenges in the sales landscape.
