What I'm looking for

I seek a senior role where I can lead multi-market growth, shape brand strategy, mentor teams, and drive measurable revenue through integrated pitches.

I am a business development and communications leader with 10+ years' experience driving global growth across travel and tourism, known for leading multi-market new business initiatives, shaping strategic brand narratives, and aligning cross-functional teams to deliver integrated, high-impact campaigns. At MMGY Global I generated $2.1M in 2024 and redefined the firm's RFP response strategy to secure global remits.

I optimize revenue growth through strategic pitching, partner liaison, and team development, having led multi-market RFPs, managed budgets up to $500K, and produced large-scale media and social results for clients. I am passionate about purpose-driven work, global collaboration, and mentoring teams to achieve pitch excellence and measurable business outcomes.
