What I'm looking for

I seek senior commercial roles where I can drive multi-channel revenue growth, build high-performing teams, and scale partnerships in a data-driven, growth-focused environment.

I am a dynamic commercial leader with over 16 years of experience driving revenue growth across financial services, FMCG, and real estate sectors. I build and lead high-performance sales, marketing, and customer success teams to execute go-to-market strategies and secure strategic partnerships.

My career highlights include creating multi-channel revenue strategies that delivered 30% year-over-year growth, establishing processes that improved forecast accuracy by 25%, and negotiating partnerships that generated over $50M in new business opportunities. I have a proven record of scaling portfolios, improving margins, and boosting conversion rates through CRM and analytics adoption.

I am committed to sustainable growth, stakeholder value, and developing talent through effective recruitment, training, and performance management. I combine financial modeling, market expansion tactics, and customer-centric execution to consistently exceed targets and improve retention.
