What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can drive revenue through training and program development, strengthen client relationships, and lead marketing strategy—so delivery quality and retention improve with clear, measurable outcomes.

I’m a results-driven Business Development and Training Consultant with 15+ years’ experience across corporate education, marketing strategy, and client engagement. I design and lead high-impact programmes, support market expansion, and focus on stakeholder relations that turn into repeat business.

Across my roles, I’ve consistently delivered measurable revenue outcomes—directing training solutions for 20+ public and private sector companies and generating $2.5M+ TTD in revenue, then managing international programme portfolios to achieve $5M TTD in sales. I’ve also improved operational efficiency and student experience, including streamlining administrative processes to increase on-time graduation rates by over 20%.

In my recent client support work, I streamline onboarding, engagement, and retention while strengthening marketing and content initiatives. I implemented Asana for client intake and retention management, set up automated reminders for birthdays and programme end dates, and created digital marketing content that improved audience engagement and lead generation.
