Jothi Sankar Anand
@jothisankaranand
I am an experienced business development professional driving international sales and market expansion.
What I'm looking for
I have 11+ years of experience in international business development and global marketing across horticulture, coir, safety matches and manufacturing sectors. I consistently meet sales goals—doubling revenue at a prior employer and launching exports to achieve 9 containers per month—by converting high-volume clients and retaining customers.
I focus on end-to-end sales processes, key account management, forecasting and new market development using tools like Pipedrive and SAP. I am customer-focused, process-oriented, hold NPTEL certifications in Global Marketing and International Business, and am committed to continuous learning and measurable growth.
