What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that challenges me to leverage my operational expertise while fostering a collaborative and innovative company culture.

As the Head of Operations and Partnerships at GUROS, I have successfully transformed an 8-person team into a robust 60-member operation, directly overseeing revenue, customer retention, and product quality. My strategic initiatives have resulted in a remarkable 10% month-over-month sales growth and an impressive 85% customer retention rate. I take pride in my ability to forge strong partnerships, having expanded our key alliances from 3 to 75% of total sales.

Prior to GUROS, I served as the Director of Operations and Product Manager at REDCONCERO, where I led product development and implemented effective sales operations. My efforts in creating an investor deck successfully raised $500,000 from angel investors, showcasing my capability to drive financial growth and engage stakeholders. My experience at Microsoft as an Account Executive further honed my skills in consulting with C-suite executives, where I met a $26.5 million quota by advising on strategic technology solutions.
