What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own complex, long-cycle deals and strategic partnerships—building pipelines from RFP to contract close—while driving global market growth. I thrive partnering cross-functionally and advising leadership with data-backed deal structuring.

I’m a business development executive with 20+ years of experience prospecting, developing, negotiating, and closing complex, multimillion-dollar agreements with Tier-1 global clients. I build and manage a full sales pipeline—from lead qualification through RFP response, technical proposal, and contract close—coordinating cross-functionally with legal, quality, scientific/technical, and operations teams.

I’ve driven outsized growth (175% year-over-year revenue growth for three consecutive years) and secured long-term enterprise agreements and exclusive global distribution partnerships. After completing the Life Science Immersion Program (LSIP) with San Diego State University and the BioCom Institute, I’m bringing genuine life sciences fluency to strategic partnerships, global market development, and go-to-market strategy, while also leveraging my founder/operator background to advise on complex transactions and deal structuring.
