What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my sales expertise while fostering team collaboration and driving market growth.

I have a BA in Management and a BSc in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering, combined with extensive experience in Regional Sales, Territory Sales Management, Sales Supervision, and Sales Management. Throughout my career, I have managed sales teams, distributors, dealers, retailers, key accounts, and diverse customer relationships across different markets.

My key strengths include B2B and B2C sales, business development, lead generation, customer relationship management, territory and channel management, market research, sales reporting, team coordination, negotiation, and achieving sales targets.

I am now seeking a remote opportunity where I can use my sales experience, communication skills, leadership ability, and growing digital/AI capabilities to help organizations generate revenue, acquire and retain customers, manage business relationships, and achieve sustainable growth. I am comfortable working independently, communicating with international teams, learning new digital tools, and working in a performance-driven remote environment.

I am fluent in English, Amharic, and Afaan Oromo and am particularly interested in remote opportunities in Sales, Business Development, Customer Success, Sales Operations, Digital Marketing, AI-assisted business roles, and Oromo language-related projects.
