What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles in business development or partnerships where I can lead strategic alliances, build reporting frameworks, and drive measurable revenue growth.

I am a business development and strategic partnerships leader with deep experience building alliances, reporting frameworks, and scalable systems that drive revenue and partner retention. My work spans fintech, employee perks, and digital commerce, and I focus on turning data into executive-level insights.

At FunEx & Great Work Perks I led partner acquisition, negotiated exclusive offers, and implemented bi-monthly reporting covering new companies signed, revenue by source, and email campaign statistics—creating visibility not previously available. I also proposed advertising performance tracking to inform planning and improve retention.

As an independent contractor I positioned early-stage technology companies to investors, built investor pipelines, and developed concise investment cases; I led negotiations to align founders and investors for capital raises. In banking I established market risk and derivatives frameworks, built reporting and trading systems, and created executive dashboards to inform board-level strategy.

I bring a data-driven, collaborative approach to senior and C-level relationship management, helping organizations scale partnerships and make informed strategic decisions. I seek roles where I can leverage reporting, negotiation, and cross-functional leadership to deliver measurable growth.
