What I'm looking for

I'm seeking part-time or project-based remote opportunities in sales, business development, customer success, or account management, where I can apply my commercial expertise and global experience to help businesses grow.

At EL Concepts, I lead business development, client acquisition, and commercial strategy for an interior design and fit-out business. I manage client relationships from consultation through project delivery and negotiate contracts with residential, commercial, and hospitality clients.

At Centrepoint Homes (Private) Limited, I drove revenue growth through project-based and export markets, built key client accounts and dealer networks, and strengthened supplier partnerships.

At Latar Company LLC, I managed international trading operations and developed cross-border client relationships in Iraq, Turkey, and Sri Lanka. I also identified business opportunities and negotiated contracts.

My experience spans sales, business development, and client relationships across interior solutions, construction materials, financial services, e-commerce, and international trade. I'm seeking part-time or project-based remote opportunities in sales, business development, customer success, or account management.
