What I'm looking for

I seek a long-term remote role with a global team valuing trust and performance, focusing on sales operations, BD support, or ops coordination where I can deliver reliable execution and grow through results.

I am a remote-first business development and operations professional with over 15 years of experience across B2B sales, revenue operations, and end-to-end business management. I transitioned deliberately from on-ground hospitality operations to desk-based remote roles following a leg injury, focusing on discipline, clarity, and execution.

I have led teams (up to 9+ staff), designed sales workflows, managed pipelines, and conducted high-volume outreach using CRM tools and structured reporting. I consistently deliver reliable follow-ups, meeting coordination, and accurate reporting to drive conversion and revenue outcomes.

As a founder and general manager, I launched and scaled hospitality brands, handled pricing, vendor negotiations, P&L controls, and maintained strong brand and guest experience standards. I bring practical experience with AMADEUS GDS, OTA dashboards, Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, and creative tooling for sales enablement.

I am seeking long-term remote roles where trust, performance, and reliability are valued; I can start at junior or mid-level, learn quickly, and earn responsibility through measurable results.
