What I'm looking for

I am looking for a job that offers a dynamic and challenging environment where I can utilize my sales expertise and international market knowledge. I value company culture, opportunities for career growth, and the chance to make a significant impact on the organization's bottom line.

I am a seasoned sales professional with eight years of experience across diverse industries and international markets. Originally from South Africa and now based in the U.K, I bring a dynamic blend of tenacity, discipline, and a never-give-up attitude to my work. I have a proven track record in prospecting, warm and cold outreach, appointment setting, and closing deals.

I am currently exploring the exciting domain of remote work and am committed to leveraging the flexibility it offers while continuing to fuel my career with the same zeal and passion that has defined my journey so far. With a love for sports, especially rugby, I have developed strong interpersonal skills and a competitive spirit that drives me to excel in every professional endeavor.
