Message

I am an experienced Marketing & Business Development Manager with over 17 years of experience in the FMCG & Localization industry. Throughout my career, I have built an excellent reputation for resolving problems and improving customer satisfaction. I have a strong track record of building and maintaining strong, long-lasting client relationships, negotiating contracts, and closing agreements to maximize profitability. I am skilled in team management, trade and channel activation, business development, communication, customer relationship management, and key account management.

In my most recent role as a Senior Account Manager at Translate By Humans, I served as the lead point of contact for all customer account management matters. I built and maintained strong, long-lasting client relationships, negotiated contracts, and ensured the timely and successful delivery of our solutions according to customer needs and objectives. I also developed new business with existing clients and forecasted and tracked key account metrics to meet sales quotas. I achieved an annual target of USD 6.62 lacs.

Prior to that, I was self-employed as a Distributor at Vaishnavi Balaji Enterprises, where I monitored company inventory, delivered exceptional service to 350 individual supermarket stores, and achieved a 95% fill rate. I also worked as a Business Development Manager at KM Products Pvt Ltd, where I coordinated innovative strategies to boost long-term profitability, generated new business through marketing initiatives and strategic plans, and grew sales numbers by 1.5 ton monthly. Additionally, I have experience as a Key Account Manager at 3M India Ltd, where I was responsible for the development and achievement of sales from all Modern Trade Accounts in South India.
