What I'm looking for

I am seeking a sales or business-development role in travel/tourism where I can build sustainable client relationships, scale revenue, and improve sales processes within a collaborative culture.

I am an experienced business development and sales professional specializing in travel, tourism and account management, with a strong focus on building sustainable client relationships and driving growth. I have worked across B2C and B2B travel channels including MICE, aggregators, online travel platforms and corporate accounts.

My background includes field sales, inbound and outbound sales, CRM-driven lead development, itinerary design and post-sales support; I have delivered measurable results at companies such as Expedia, Leisure Travel, Ascon Travels and other travel services. I combine practical travel operations experience with negotiation skills, cross-sell/up-sell expertise and digital marketing awareness to improve revenue and customer satisfaction.

I bring customer-focused problem solving, clear internal documentation and smooth account transitions to sales support teams. I am motivated by opportunities to grow business sustainably, optimize sales processes and strengthen long-term client partnerships.
