What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead pricing and deal desk strategy, collaborate cross-functionally, drive revenue growth, improve pricing governance, and build automated reporting to accelerate deal cycles and reduce risk.

I am a results-driven Pricing Strategy and Deal Desk professional with close to 8 years of experience across SaaS B2B, consulting, and global enterprises. I have a proven track record in deal pricing approvals, quote review, compliance, and risk assessment, and I partner effectively with Sales, Finance, Legal, and Operations to optimize pricing structures, reduce discounts, and accelerate deal closure.

I leverage tools such as Salesforce CRM, SAP, Dynamics 365, Tableau, and advanced Excel to deliver actionable insights, automate reporting, and improve process efficiency. Notable achievements include driving an average 20% increase in deal size, reducing pricing errors by 28%, and delivering reporting and dashboard solutions that improved turnaround and decision-making across organizations.
