What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to lead sales teams and drive growth in a dynamic environment, with opportunities for professional development and innovation.

I am a seasoned sales manager with over 13 years of experience in various sectors, including scaffolding, petroleum derivatives, and agro-food. My journey has equipped me with a robust skill set in sales negotiation, team management, and stock management. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can lead teams to achieve ambitious sales targets and develop effective distribution networks.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed sales teams and driven significant revenue growth. At Layher Ivory Coast, I oversee national territory sales and rental operations, ensuring that our scaffolding solutions meet the needs of our clients. My previous role as a Regional Sales Manager at PKL CI allowed me to refine my skills in organizing sales teams and developing distribution networks, which are critical for meeting company objectives.

I am passionate about fostering strong relationships with clients and stakeholders, ensuring that our products are visible and accessible in the market. I am committed to continuous improvement and am always looking for innovative ways to enhance sales strategies and team performance.
