United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am an experienced account manager in the optical industry with a strong track record of delivering targeted revenue growth and driving commercial initiatives. Over five years with Carl Zeiss Vision I have managed key accounts and independent practice relationships while consistently meeting and exceeding targets.
My strengths include consultative business development, territory and forecast planning, and designing persuasive sales and rebate plans that unlock new revenue streams. I have led onboarding, co-travel with senior leadership, and presented plans to SLT.
I have hands-on training experience, having created and delivered CPD and onboarding sessions for groups of 6–100, both in person and online, and I have organized customer events and represented the company at major industry shows.
Previously I managed an optical practice and a team of 7+, implemented clinical services, oversaw sales and inventory, and tracked KPIs—combining clinical knowledge (BSc Ophthalmic Dispensing) with commercial acumen to grow territories and equipment sales.
