NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Sales Executive with a strong ICT background, focused on spotting business opportunities, building relationships, and recommending effective solutions. Since April 2017, I’ve been identifying prospects, maintaining client support, and staying current on industry trends to drive product improvement while contributing to team success through daily departmental work.
Earlier roles strengthened my technical foundation: I configured computer networks, provided technical support nationwide, maintained workstations, printers, and peripherals, and coordinated hardware/software upgrades. I also deliver solid troubleshooting, computer security setup, and LAN/WAN administration, combining structured analysis with a fast-learning, highly motivated approach to solve problems in a stable, dynamic workplace.
