What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me to innovate and grow, within a company that values strategic partnerships and customer satisfaction.

I am a seasoned sales leader with a proven track record of exceeding revenue targets and forging high-value partnerships. My career has been defined by my ability to build strategies that win, create lasting relationships, and drive sustainable growth. Currently, I serve as the Head of Business Development at PetPlace, where I partner with executive leadership to draft multi-year strategic growth plans and execute successful product launches.

Throughout my career, I have managed national and global teams, focusing on customer satisfaction and operational efficiency. My experience includes leading negotiations for significant partnerships, such as securing the inaugural alcohol agreement with Goose Island, and consistently surpassing sales goals, including achieving $2.76 million in sales against a target of $1.2 million. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my strategic thinking and innovative mindset to create impactful collaborations.

With a strong foundation in client relationship management and a commitment to driving revenue growth, I am excited to bring my bold thinking and relentless execution to my next challenge. I am passionate about building customer-obsessed cultures and fostering partnerships that deliver exceptional value.
