What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

I am a Business Development Manager with a strong background in driving growth for innovative technology solutions. Currently, I lead B2B sales for a Voice AI SaaS platform, where I have successfully closed significant deals and optimized outbound marketing strategies that have tripled our demo bookings. My experience spans various sectors, including financial services and education, where I focus on aligning our offerings with client needs through tailored demos and strategic outreach.

In addition to my role at Awaz AI, I have worked as a Private Freelance Tour Guide, where I designed unique experiences that foster cultural exchange. My passion for sustainable practices led me to contribute to a startup in the sustainable fashion industry, where I generated leads and developed marketing strategies that enhanced brand visibility. I am also committed to community engagement, participating in initiatives that promote civic education and gender equality.
