What I'm looking for

I'm looking to grow in business development, sales, partnerships, or talent acquisition, where I can use prospecting, outbound outreach, market research, and content skills to acquire customers and build meaningful relationships.

At Shrubi, I generate and qualify 700+ outbound leads weekly through Instagram using Clay, while identifying and engaging 200+ targeted leads weekly through LinkedIn Sales Navigator. I manage prospect research, targeting, cold outreach, and the end-to-end sales pipeline. I've acquired three early-stage customers within three months and tested growth channels including cold calling, strategic partnerships, and customer acquisition strategies. I also onboard and guide a junior intern on prospecting and outreach.

At Implica Global Corporation, I supported strategic partnerships, sponsorships, media outreach, and content development while reporting directly to the CEO. I researched media organisations, sponsors, partners, and Fortune 500 companies, and created LinkedIn thought-leadership content on HR, workplace equality, and leadership.

My talent acquisition experience at Avomind includes sourcing candidates across the DACH region through LinkedIn Recruiter, contributing more than 10 qualified candidates and one successful hire within 2 months. I'm completing a BBA in Digital International Business and bring experience in market research, recruitment, employer branding, and content writing.
