What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic and results-oriented sales leader with over 17 years of progressive experience in client acquisition, relationship management, and program expansion for top-tier organizations.

Being bilingual in English and Spanish allows me to develop global partnerships and facilitate seamless client communication.
Currently, as an Account Executive at ABB Inc., I have exceeded my sales target by 17% in 2024, engaging all levels of several national accounts to establish multi-year corporate programs. My previous role at Seam Group LLC saw me exceed the 2023 sales target by 14%, driving program expansion within national clients by 130%. I pride myself on my ability to master service offerings and align them with compliance requirements to deliver tailored client solutions.
Throughout my career, I have demonstrated adaptability and strategic planning, especially during corporate acquisitions, ensuring exceptional client support and timely delivery. My leadership experience as VP of Sales in the Great Lakes Region has equipped me with the skills to mentor and guide teams effectively, improving client satisfaction and retention through service expansion and strategic sales planning.
