ZimbabweWhat I'm looking for
I’m a business development and sales strategy professional with over 9 years’ experience driving revenue growth across FMCG and service industries. I’m known for building client relationships, implementing strategic initiatives, and making data-driven decisions that move the numbers.
In my most recent role, I developed and executed business development strategies that increased the client base by 10% within the first year and helped exceed quarterly business development targets by 15% through negotiating and closing high-value contracts. I also streamlined administrative processes using digital tools to improve operational efficiency, while preparing strategic reports and proposals for senior management and external stakeholders.

I enjoy stakeholder and partner engagement, contract negotiation, and continuous market research to identify opportunities and build repeat business.
