What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead revenue growth through consultative, insight-led selling, executive engagement, sales coaching, pipeline strategy, and high-performing team development.

At Gartner, I've grown from business development associate to Sales Manager, leading a six-person mid-market team responsible for new business acquisition and revenue growth. In 2025, my team drove $1.5M in revenue and earned Winner's Circle recognition.

I've increased pipeline by 60% year over year, improved team performance by 58% through coaching, and raised lead-to-opportunity conversion by 25% through targeted marketing campaigns. I stay active in executive-level sales conversations, deal strategy, forecasting, negotiation, and value-based selling.

As a quota-carrying Business Development Executive and Manager, I achieved 100%+ quota in 2022 and 180% in 2023 while building business cases tied to measurable ROI and strategic outcomes. Earlier, I ranked #1 in completed meetings among a 50+ person team while generating enterprise pipeline with C-level leaders.
