What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven sales and business development leader with extensive experience building high-performing account portfolios, exceeding sales targets, and cultivating trusted customer relationships across CPG, hospitality, and distribution channels. I have consistently grown territory revenue, opened and managed thousands of accounts, and delivered multimillion-dollar results by combining consultative selling with data-informed strategies.
I excel at prospecting, pipeline management, and cross-functional collaboration, leveraging tools like HubSpot and Salesforce to maintain top-of-funnel velocity and convert opportunities into sustained partnerships. My approach centers on servant leadership, clear planning, and dependable execution to drive measurable growth and client satisfaction.
