What I'm looking for
I’m a Business Development Manager with strong experience in fintech, enterprise partnerships, and technical sales. I drive API adoption by onboarding strategic partners, launching APIs, and scaling digital products while bridging business and technical teams to improve developer experience.
In my recent roles, I’ve led end-to-end marketplace growth for APIs, working cross-functionally with product, engineering, compliance, and marketing to launch and scale. I also secure high-value enterprise deals, maintain strong relationship management, and set standardized processes for onboarding—backed by achievements like generating $5,000,000+ in revenue, recovering 80% churned customers, and exceeding monthly targets.
