What I'm looking for

I seek a client-facing sales or business development role where I can drive revenue, build relationships, exceed targets, and contribute to team growth.

I am a results-driven business development and sales professional with over 10 years of experience building client relationships, closing deals, and driving revenue growth across payments and telecommunications sectors.

I have consistently exceeded targets—bringing in substantial processed sales and achieving 80–150% of objectives—while developing proposals, performing market research, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve products and processes.

I am organized, self-motivated, and skilled in negotiation, pipeline management, and client onboarding; I bring strong communication, analytical, and project-management skills to help companies acquire and retain customers.
