Elite locker rooms taught me extreme ownership, coachability, and how to rally people toward a shared mission. Moving beyond professional football, I bring high EQ, bilingual communication, and strategic creativity to client success and partnerships. I am looking for a forward-thinking culture where I can solve complex client challenges, drive loyalty, and build my long-term future.

Business Development & Strategic Partnerships | Remote Sales & Account Management | Active Pro Athlete
ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a business development and partnerships professional who leverages the discipline, resilience, and adaptability of an international athletic career to drive commercial results. While an active professional football player across first- and second-division leagues in Colombia and Israel, my professional skill set is built around consultative sales, cross-border relationship management, and strategic execution across diverse remote environments.
My experience centers on pipeline generation, client acquisition, and operational growth:
End-to-End Sales & Business Development: Spearheading regional commercial expansion for international platforms, managing the full sales cycle from cold prospect outreach and product demonstrations to high-ticket contract closing.
Consultative Client Management: Advising clients and decision-makers through complex decision processes, assessing needs, and building long-term trust to ensure consistent conversion and retention.
Campaign & Lead Optimization: Designing data-informed outreach and positioning initiatives, analyzing conversion funnels, and refining customer engagement strategies.
My approach pairs practical commercial execution with academic grounding, holding a Bachelor of Science double major in Sports Management and Coaching from Averett University, alongside specialized training in data analysis and high-performance psychology. Fluent in Spanish and English with intermediate Hebrew, I bring high autonomy, problem-solving, and cross-cultural adaptability to remote teams scaling their partnerships and customer acquisition efforts.
