What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a sales leadership role where I can drive measurable revenue growth, coach high-performing teams, and use data-driven reporting to improve performance—while partnering closely with marketing and maintaining operational excellence.

I’m a seasoned sales professional with over 20 years of experience in sales management and more than 18 years leading and developing high-performing teams. I drive sales growth and hit challenging targets through strong leadership, strategic planning, and motivation.

My expertise spans sales and distribution management, field marketing operations, and in-market visibility, backed by data analysis, performance monitoring, and insightful reporting to support business decisions. I’m known for excellent interpersonal and negotiation skills that build productive relationships with clients and teams.

In my most recent role as Senior Store Supervisor, I manage daily store operations, sales and revenue management, staff leadership (18 staff members), and customer service oversight—while ensuring inventory control, visual merchandising, compliance, and security. I also bring deep marketing execution experience from roles including Marketing Specialist and Sales and Marketing Manager, with a strong record of leading campaigns, optimizing performance, and improving GTM outcomes.
