At Bellona USA, I drive commercial growth across wholesale and B2B channels, supporting a $6.5M annual revenue business. I manage a $2M portfolio of strategic wholesale accounts and work with field sales representatives on customer growth initiatives.

I’ve exceeded annual revenue targets by an average of 14%, recovered 7 previously lost accounts that generated $480K in incremental revenue, and expanded geographic coverage by 20%, generating $750K in additional annual revenue.

Previously at Bellona USA, I managed strategic and chain store accounts, exceeded annual revenue targets by 18%, and recovered 5 inactive accounts that contributed $300K in additional revenue. As a Sales and Marketing Specialist there, I increased territory revenue by 33% and onboarded 30+ wholesale clients.

At Lezza Foods, I managed wholesale accounts and acquired 3 major corporate clients. Earlier, at Portx Inc., I secured 20+ new B2B clients and improved profitability across underperforming accounts by 40%.
