What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role where I can lead sales teams, drive growth, and foster a collaborative culture focused on achieving results.

I am a self-motivated and ambitious sales professional with a proven track record of driving business growth and building strong client relationships. My strategic approach has led to significant achievements, including being named the Southeast Team Training Expert at Samsung and achieving 200% of my sales quota in 2023. I am passionate about helping clients achieve their goals and thrive in competitive markets.

Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles, including VP of Sales & Business Development at Iron Oak Technologies and Director of Sales Development at FanFinders. I have successfully built and managed sales teams, developed effective sales processes, and consistently exceeded sales targets. My experience spans across multiple industries, where I have nurtured relationships with major clients such as Google, Samsung, and Energizer.

I believe in the power of teamwork and mentorship, and I strive to create future leaders within my teams. My goal is to continue driving results and fostering a culture of success in every organization I am part of.
