What I'm looking for
I’m a Business Development Expert and sales leadership professional with 5+ years of experience across business development, key account management, customer service, financial analysis, and project management. I focus on turning data and market insight into practical actions that grow revenue and strengthen customer relationships.

My results include successfully doubling sales revenue within my first year, achieving a Top Performing Team award for three consecutive quarters, and optimizing the distribution network to reduce delivery times by 50% while increasing product availability by 15% in key markets. I also implemented cost-saving measures that increased net profit margin by 20% in my first six months.
Earlier, as a Business Development Analyst and Business Development Manager, I forecast and conduct variance and financial analysis, analyze market trends, and help identify new profit opportunities. I was recognized as Employee of the Year in 2020 and 2021, secured 300 million in new contracts with key accounts, and helped drive product line recommendations that generated 100 million in sales within the first year.
