What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and values customer satisfaction.

I am an accomplished Account Executive with over 25 years of experience in the plastics packaging industry, specializing in new business development and account management. My career has been marked by a consistent track record of exceeding sales targets, building strong customer relationships, and delivering innovative packaging solutions that meet diverse client needs.

Throughout my career, I have successfully spearheaded market entries, secured significant contracts, and driven substantial revenue growth across various sectors, including pharmaceuticals and food processing. My ability to collaborate cross-functionally and optimize sales processes has enabled me to achieve remarkable results, such as a 325% increase in sales with GlaxoSmithKline and securing $855,000 in new revenue in a single year.

I am now seeking to contribute my expertise to a forward-thinking company that values innovation and customer satisfaction. I thrive in environments that challenge me to leverage my skills in driving sales and developing strategic partnerships.
