What I'm looking for

I am seeking a client-facing business development or wealth-management role where I can drive new client acquisition, support advisors, generate measurable revenue through strategic sales and lead generation, and grow into broader leadership responsibilities.

I am a results-driven business development and sales professional with experience supporting wealth management strategies, generating leads through cold outreach, and partnering closely with Private Wealth Advisors to implement client solutions. I delivered strong performance in recruitment with first-year billings of £280,000 and second-year billings of £370,000, and I won a Rising Star/Top Performer award for consistently exceeding targets.

I have led teams as a promoted Team Lead, grown social channels and client bases (80% growth for a client), and I am fluent in English and German. I combine strong organisation, client-service focus and analytical support to drive revenue and retention in client-facing roles.
