Account Manager with 8+ years driving revenue, retention, and client growth across financial services and energy.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Account Management & Client Relationship Management professional with 8+ years of experience driving revenue, customer retention, and portfolio performance across financial services and energy.
I excel at exceeding targets through a consultative approach—combining client liaison, negotiation, and commercial awareness to deliver measurable business impact. In my most recent role, I managed a 200+ customer portfolio across renewals and retention, consistently converting customer needs into tailored solutions.
I’m skilled in protecting account value: I handle objections, negotiate retention outcomes, and lead renewal conversations to secure ongoing contracts. I also focus on revenue expansion through upselling and proactive support, while maintaining high levels of customer satisfaction through clear communication and timely resolution of issues.
I’ve also built capability and operational discipline by leading teams and improving service delivery. From shift leadership to mentoring and process improvement, I strengthen performance through templates, structured reporting, and best-practice sharing—so teams respond faster, with greater quality and accountability.
