What I'm looking for

I seek senior business development roles where I can build channels and enterprise sales teams, lead go-to-market strategy, and drive measurable revenue growth.

I am a business development and growth strategist with 15+ years of experience driving revenue for ERP solutions, cybersecurity vendors, IT hardware, and SaaS platforms across US, EMEA, and PK markets.

I have led inside sales, partner development, and channel growth programs—securing enterprise contracts, building high-performing sales teams, and enabling digital transformation for global clients while managing CRM-driven pipelines and performance metrics.

I collaborate with cross-border teams on go-to-market strategy, lead generation, and solution alignment to consistently accelerate revenue growth and develop long-term reseller and enterprise partnerships.
