I build outbound pipelines and qualified leads for B2B digital commerce teams.
What I'm looking for
I've built outbound sales processes and pipeline as a founding Business Development Representative at PeakActivity, a digital commerce and ecommerce agency. I developed five multi-channel sequences and improved email open rates from 10% to 25–35%.
I built a prospect database of 2,500+ targeted contacts, used 6Sense, Seamless.AI, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and HubSpot CRM, and ran personalized email, phone, and LinkedIn outreach for enterprise and mid-market accounts.
I'm currently applying full BDR methodology to a structured job search, using ICP profiles, targeted account lists, direct outreach, and pipeline tracking to generate 3–5 interviews per week. My background in business analysis and project management strengthens my consultative communication, stakeholder management, and ability to turn research into action.
