What I'm looking for

I seek a growth-oriented role where I can apply AI-driven GTM strategies, collaborate cross-functionally, build pipeline, and scale revenue while advancing my skills in market analysis and RevOps.

I am a business development and sales professional with 7+ years of international sales experience, focused on building high-value relationships, driving revenue, and delivering strategic GTM initiatives. I blend domain expertise with generative AI and OpenAI integrations to craft AI-powered workflows that solve sales challenges like objection handling, cold email sequencing, and persona-based messaging.

I have a proven track record across startups and growth-stage companies, contributing to fundraising enablement, pipeline generation, and cross-functional collaboration with product, marketing and RevOps. I consistently apply market research, CRM best practices and social selling to qualify leads, close deals, and scale inbound and outbound revenue efforts.
