What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages innovation, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With nearly 15 years of experience as a Senior Sales Executive, I have honed my skills in business development, negotiation, and strategic planning. My career has been marked by a passion for fostering innovative methods to secure accounts and enhance brand presence. I take pride in being a results-driven leader, guiding teams to consistently exceed sales goals and drive profit growth.

At Hansgrohe, I effectively managed a $15 million territory across 17 states, achieving year-over-year sales growth through strategic trade channels and global initiatives. My efforts in strengthening relationships with key accounts and enhancing brand visibility have led to significant gains in customer engagement. Previously, at Sherwin-Williams, I expanded brand loyalty and drove substantial sales increases, showcasing my ability to build successful teams and cultivate productive working relationships.
