What I'm looking for
I’m a commercially focused Sales Account Manager and Business Developer with over 15 years of experience building partnerships, managing full sales cycles, and expanding territories across Tier 1 & 2 automotive and industrial transportation manufacturing sectors.
I’ve led Key Account Management and Pipeline Management across portfolios that generated $72M in annual revenue, consistently ranking in the top 5 for sales invoicing, and increasing territory profitability by 25%.
I’m recognized as a top performer, exceeding sales quotas by up to 139% through consultative sales and customer-focused strategies, including RFQ and contract negotiations. I also use SAP ERP and Salesforce CRM to track activities, manage projects, and deliver data-driven forecasting and performance reporting.
Beyond sales, I co-founded and operated a specialized logistics company—optimizing routes and schedules to achieve 95%+ on-time delivery. Previously, as a Customer Service Supervisor, I improved CSAT/NPS by 36%, boosted retention by 19%, and strengthened operations using Voice of Customer programs and 8D problem-solving.
