Business Development Leader with 20+ years of experience driving revenue growth.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Business Development Leader with over 20 years of experience in driving revenue growth and forming impactful partnerships across various sectors, including healthcare, technology, SaaS, and government. My proven track record includes exceeding KPIs, developing effective go-to-market strategies, and securing significant government funding, such as SR&ED and federal grants. I excel in client acquisition, cross-functional collaboration, and aligning business objectives with measurable results.
In my current role as Director of Partnerships at ZeroToOne Strategic, I have successfully developed and executed growth strategies targeting key verticals, including healthcare and AI. My efforts have led to a remarkable 132% achievement of our 2024 revenue target, amounting to $3.3 million. Previously, as a Business Development Manager at Leyton Group, I generated over $750,000 in annual revenue by signing more than 53 clients each year, consistently surpassing my targets. My ability to create custom sales strategies and identify new business opportunities has been instrumental in my success.
Throughout my career, I have transformed challenges into opportunities, such as turning a $150K year-end deficit into a $300K surplus in my first year at Bayshore Healthcare. I am passionate about building strategic referral networks and leading business development initiatives that foster growth and client satisfaction. I am committed to continuous improvement and ensuring compliance with industry standards.
