What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role in a forward-thinking company that values innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a seasoned SaaS Sales Director with an MBA and multiple AWS certifications, currently based in Ireland. My career has been marked by a proven track record in strategic planning, team management, and contract negotiation, particularly within startup environments. I have developed strong skills in selling IT finance management solutions and cloud cost optimization, which have significantly contributed to my success in driving sales and customer acquisition.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated excellence in customer support, particularly in technical and dispute resolution contexts. My experience includes leading a team of sales representatives and freelance drivers at Baluzis Delivery, where I focused on developing long-term partnerships and maintaining strategic financial planning. I am also recognized for my teaching abilities, having been awarded Kenya's Teacher of the Year in 2018 for my outstanding contributions to education.
