What I'm looking for
I am a Business Development Manager with 5+ years of experience delivering measurable revenue growth, client acquisition, and market expansion across healthcare, travel, telecoms, and technology sectors. I build high-value partnerships, manage sales pipelines with HubSpot and Salesforce, and lead B2B and B2C growth initiatives that improve retention and conversion.
Passionate about scaling startups across Africa and global markets, I combine data-driven strategy, customer-centric selling, and strong negotiation to close deals and expand service portfolios. I have a track record of quick impact—driving double-digit growth in bookings and client acquisition—and I thrive in remote collaboration environments using tools like Apollo.io, Notion, Slack, and Google Workspace.
