What I'm looking for

I'm open to B2B sales, account management, and customer success opportunities, including remote, international, and contract-based roles.

I support Vrbo, part of Expedia Group, by taking qualified property-owner opportunities from first contact through consultative sales, onboarding, and activation across UK and EMEA markets. I regularly exceed quarterly targets, reaching up to 170% of goal while completing around 800–1,000 activations per quarter.

I build lasting customer relationships, maintaining 95%+ partner retention through proactive account management. Earlier hospitality leadership roles strengthened my commercial awareness, team leadership, customer service, and ability to perform under pressure.
