What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own outreach and partnerships end-to-end—researching prospects, managing CRM follow-ups, coordinating key stakeholders, and supporting projects and events. I thrive in remote-friendly teams that value clear communication and measurable growth.

I’m a business development and partnerships professional with 5+ years of experience supporting business growth through client relationship management, executive support, and stakeholder engagement. I focus on turning research and outreach into real partnerships by connecting the right decision-makers with clear, follow-through communication.

In my current role as Head of Business and Partnership Development, I identify and engage prospective partners through relationship-building initiatives, maintain partner records and databases using cloud-based systems, and coordinate calendars and follow-ups across internal leadership and external stakeholders. I also prepare proposals, partnership agreements, presentations, and business reports—ensuring opportunities are documented, tracked, and delivered with consistency.

Previously, I led project communications and advocacy as ProjectManager/Communications and Advocacy Director, coordinating a globally distributed team of 15 members across multiple countries using remote collaboration tools. I served as the primary point of contact for stakeholders and members, managed webinars and virtual events via Zoom, and produced online research outputs, project documentation, and stakeholder-ready presentations.

Earlier roles—Senior Project Manager and Assistant Project Manager—strengthened my delivery discipline and customer-first mindset. I coordinated multiple projects simultaneously, managed timelines and resources, handled client communications and follow-ups, and supported customer inquiries and escalations while maintaining service-level standards at a financial technology company. Across all roles, I work independently in remote environments, manage multiple priorities, and keep communication clear for executives, clients, and cross-functional teams.
