What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own consultative sales cycles, build trusted client relationships, and grow pipeline through targeted prospecting. I’m energized by SaaS or aviation contexts, process improvement, and close collaboration with Customer Success and leadership.

I’m a commercial sales professional with a proven track record of developing new business, managing consultative sales cycles, and building long-term client relationships across SaaS and aviation sectors. I enjoy understanding complex client requirements and delivering tailored solutions that move opportunities from prospecting to negotiation.

In my aviation-focused role, I developed new business opportunities in general aviation through targeted prospecting and relationship management, including securing two exclusive off-market Beechcraft King Air listings via owner outreach. I also conducted aircraft market research, valuations, and buyer qualification, building trust with owners, operators, and prospective purchasers across Europe.

Across my SaaS experience, I’ve managed the complete sales cycle from qualification through to close, delivered software demonstrations and proposals, and supported long-term account growth with consultative selling. I’ve worked with Salesforce and sales engagement tools, built CRM infrastructure and business development processes, and collaborated closely with Customer Success to maximise retention and expansion.
