What I'm looking for

I seek senior B2B SaaS sales or business development roles where I can drive revenue growth, build high-performing teams, expand in emerging markets, and partner with leadership to scale enterprise accounts.

I am a relationship-oriented B2B sales leader with 10 years of experience connecting businesses with cost-saving IT products and SaaS solutions, with a consistent track record of driving seven-figure revenue growth through new account acquisition and expansion.

I have led regional field operations at a major asset-financing firm, overseeing hiring, training, operational planning, KPI development and performance monitoring. As a Business Development Manager at an international ride-hailing company, I created sales forecasts, identified market opportunities, trained sales teams and built strategic client relationships.

Earlier, as Sales and Marketing Manager for an edtech platform, I developed go-to-market and social media strategies, managed budgets and executed market penetration plans. My working approach emphasizes data-driven decision making, contract negotiation, regulatory compliance and hands-on team development.

I bring a practical, growth-focused mindset and a commitment to mentoring teams, scaling SaaS offerings in emerging markets, and partnering with enterprise clients to deliver measurable ROI and operational improvements.
