What I'm looking for

I am seeking a results-driven international business development or sales leadership role to grow revenue, expand markets, lead teams, and implement scalable sales processes in a collaborative, customer-focused environment.

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.
