I’m a results-driven Sales Professional with 10+ years closing high-value deals in security technology, with a proven track record generating new business opportunities and building long-term client relationships across government and corporate sectors. I now operate as UK-based, targeting growth roles within the British market.

In my current role as Business Development Manager, I manage active sales pipelines end-to-end using Salesforce and HubSpot, tracking leads from prospecting to close. I’ve closed deals up to £80,000 and grew company revenue 35% in two years through strategic account development, client relationship management, and solution-led proposals.

Previously, as Head of Business Development, I delivered full sales cycles from lead generation through negotiation to contract close. I secured $2M in contracts over 7 years through competitive bidding and procurement relationship building, negotiated supplier and vendor agreements to reduce procurement costs by 20%, and maintained a 90% project success rate through cross-functional coordination.

My technical foundation as a Systems Engineer – Security Solutions supports my consultative selling style: I’ve installed and configured access control and CCTV systems, contributed technical drawings to sales proposals, and delivered post-installation training to client security teams. Alongside sales, I bring strong compliance and security awareness through GDPR and ISO/IEC 27001, and I’m comfortable conducting product demonstrations and site consultations for decision-makers.
