Sales and business development leader driving B2B revenue growth through strategy, partnerships, and end-to-end project delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven business development and sales professional with 9+ years of experience in B2B sales, account management, and project management across banking, automotive, technology, and digital services in Pakistan. I build sales pipelines, form strategic partnerships, and lead cross-functional teams from lead generation through delivery—using KPI management, forecasting, and process improvements to drive consistent revenue growth and client retention.
In my current Business Partner role, I oversee operations, lead the sales unit with upselling and cross-selling, and manage high-ticket accounts end-to-end to resolve escalations and improve repeat business. I also strengthen performance through weekly evaluations and strict compliance with SOPs and quality benchmarks, while coordinating editors, animators, designers, developers, and QA to deliver every project on time and within scope. I’m currently pursuing an MBA (Marketing & Sales) to deepen my sales strategy and market-expansion capabilities.
