What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining project leadership and revenue growth where I can manage cross-functional teams, optimize delivery, and scale lead-generation efforts.

I am a results-driven project manager and sales-focused professional with experience leading cross-functional teams and optimizing delivery processes across SaaS and agency environments.

At Sports Intermediate Limited I improved delivery speed by 15%, achieved 40% of weekly deliverables ahead of deadline, and increased milestone achievement by 25% through daily stand-ups and stronger stakeholder communication.

In sales and lead-generation roles I have sourced qualified leads using LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Hunter.io, run A/B tests on outreach, maintained CRMs, and developed sales funnels to improve conversion and win rates.

I hold an MBA and BBA from Simon Kuznets National University of Economics and currently lead country operations for a nonprofit, bringing strategic planning, stakeholder management, and adaptability to every role.
