What I'm looking for
I am a driven and dynamic business development professional with over 9 years of experience at Rakuten Viber, where I have successfully closed over 800 partnerships across Europe. My most recent role as Business Development Lead Europe allowed me to directly contribute to a $1M revenue increase while growing Viber's audience by 50% in its strongest region. I pride myself on my ability to optimize results and strengthen media relations, which led to a 250% revenue increase in the same region.
In my previous roles, I have overseen teams and expanded Viber's content partner ecosystem significantly. As a Business Development Manager, I grew the partner ecosystem by more than 250% and increased MAU contributions by 120%. My strategic initiatives, including executing annual campaigns, have consistently resulted in substantial user engagement and revenue growth. I am passionate about building relationships and driving results through innovative solutions.
