What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my sales expertise and leadership skills in a dynamic agribusiness environment, fostering growth and innovation.

I am a results-driven sales and agribusiness professional with extensive experience in agricultural economics, business development, and stakeholder engagement. My career has been marked by a commitment to driving organizational growth through innovative sales techniques, leadership, and effective team management. I have a proven track record of managing sales operations and developing market strategies that foster strong customer relationships.

In my current role as Sales Director at Kesai Eagrow, I lead sales and business development strategies that have significantly driven revenue growth. I supervise and evaluate the performance of my sales team, ensuring that we establish strong customer relationships and provide strategic market insights. My previous roles, including Sales Manager and Product Development Manager, have equipped me with the skills to oversee customer orders, develop strategies for customer portfolio expansion, and manage product marketing and compliance efforts.
