Dynamic business development manager with expertise in recruitment and HR.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned business development manager and entrepreneur with a strong background in recruitment and human resources. In September 2024, I launched my own freelance recruitment firm focused on the hospitality and healthcare sectors in the UK. My experience includes developing and implementing business strategies that align with company goals, identifying new markets, and generating leads that convert into long-term clients.
Previously, I worked with RSR Global LTD, where I successfully built and maintained strong relationships with clients and stakeholders, negotiated contracts, and closed business deals. My career also includes roles at American Express and ACS, where I honed my skills in customer service and HR processes. I am adept at using various software tools and have a proven track record of achieving sales growth and client satisfaction.
