At VOTIRO, I formulated international business development strategies aligned with financial-sector compliance and expanded the Opportunity Pipeline by over $14 million. I also led a cross-functional team in renegotiating contracts, reducing costs by 20% while maintaining service quality and saving the company $1.2 million annually.

As Owner of GAY MARKETING SOLUTIONS, I offer process optimization consultations and implement solutions to turn business challenges into revenue growth opportunities. I also collaborate with marketing teams on promotional materials for specific countries and regions.

Across roles in sales, business development, and product management, I’ve worked on international partnerships, contract negotiations, and compliance. At TEAL DRONES, I played a key role in negotiating an acquisition deal worth in excess of $90 million; at GOOGLE/POSTINI CORPORATION, I helped expand the business in Canadian markets, doubling revenue by 200% over two years.
