Bilingual sales and business development professional driving revenue through consultative client solutions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a bilingual, results-driven Sales and Business Development Professional with over 8 years of international experience in customer-facing roles. I consistently identify business opportunities, build strong client relationships, and negotiate solutions that drive revenue growth.
In 2024, I founded and manage Excellence Consultancy Solutions, helping small and large businesses with operational improvement, business growth, and profitability solutions. I conduct client needs assessments, generate leads through networking and partnerships, and close consulting contracts through proposals and negotiation.
Previously, I served as a Sales Manager and Food & Beverage Manager at Athlone Springs Hotel, managing food, beverage, and events while supporting revenue growth initiatives. I sold hotel packages to corporate clients, wedding groups, and conference organizers, and I identified upselling and cross-selling opportunities to increase overall revenue.
I also progressed internally from Kitchen Porter to Assistant Restaurant Manager at Hodson Bay Hotel, building guest relationships that strengthened customer loyalty. Along the way, I supported recruitment and coaching and achieved the highest number of positive TripAdvisor reviews in a single month in the hotel’s history—backed by my background in business management, operations, and data analytics.
