What I'm looking for

I’m looking to return to sales and account management, where I can build relationships with customers and businesses. I’m also interested in Customer Success, Project Management, Sales Ops, and IT Consultant roles, and want to keep learning and growing.

At Tricentis, I engaged customers with the company’s software quality portfolio and best practices for the SDLC. I used MEDDPIC to analyze target markets, guide complex sales cycles, and develop value-based ROI proposals.

At Dell Technologies, I sold IT solutions to State and Local accounts and supported customers from opportunity qualification through delivery. I’m now looking to return to sales, account management, and customer relationships after a hands-on chapter across construction, mining, hospitality, tourism, and wine.
