What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that fosters growth, values teamwork, and challenges me to innovate in sales strategies.

I am a seasoned sales management professional with a strong foundation in English and a proven track record of leading remote sales teams to achieve and exceed business development goals. My experience spans various roles, including Director of Emerging Markets, where I successfully increased sales by 25% over targets and launched new markets, such as Las Vegas, achieving double the expected sales in Q4. I thrive in dynamic environments, leveraging my skills in strategic planning and team leadership to drive results.

Throughout my career, I have consistently demonstrated my ability to create market-specific plans that align with sales targets. As the National Director of Sales, I led a team of 17 account executives and achieved an 18% increase in national sales, marking the first quarter of growth in four years for the company. My commitment to client relationship management and process optimization has been instrumental in my success, as I focus on building strong partnerships and ensuring exceptional customer experiences.

My journey in sales began as an Account Executive, where I grew home warranty sales by 150% in my territory. I have also excelled in the IT sector, achieving over $2M in sales in my first year. My diverse experience across various industries has equipped me with the skills necessary to adapt and thrive in any sales environment, making me a valuable asset to any organization.
