What I'm looking for
I am an accomplished leader with over ten years of experience in inside sales and government sales.

Throughout my career, I have managed projects from inception to completion, providing unique logistical support and vendor relations. My experience includes leading a $5M division in government sales, where I successfully secured lucrative contracts and directed operations during an acquisition.
