What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that challenges my leadership skills and fosters growth.

I am an accomplished General Manager with a proven track record in driving international expansion and increasing profitability. My expertise lies in multicultural communication and technical sales leadership, where I have successfully spearheaded annual business growth by optimizing operations and strategic planning. I thrive in fostering high-performing teams and cultivating strong relationships with clients, vendors, and partners, ensuring long-term success and loyalty.

Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles, including Vice-President of Key Accounts and Senior Director of Sales, where I consistently exceeded sales targets and launched new product lines. My experience in global supply chain management and operations has equipped me with the skills to navigate regulatory and cultural challenges effectively. I am passionate about mentoring junior team members and fostering a positive work environment that enhances employee satisfaction and overall team success.
