What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role in hospitality where I can leverage my sales expertise and contribute to a team's success while fostering strong client relationships.

I am a hospitality-trained professional with over five years of experience at the prestigious Oberoi Group, where I honed my skills in various roles, including field sales management. My journey began with an apprenticeship in Food & Beverage at The Oberoi Bombay, which laid the foundation for my career in the hospitality industry. I have worked in diverse environments, from luxury hotels in Mumbai to international locations like Dubai, where I developed a keen understanding of customer service and sales strategies.

Currently, I serve as a Field Sales Manager at Hotel Southern Star in Bangalore, where I am responsible for driving revenue growth and achieving sales targets. My role involves implementing effective sales strategies, building strong relationships with clients, and coordinating with marketing teams to promote our services. I pride myself on my ability to adapt to challenges and maintain a positive attitude, which has earned me recognition as a valuable asset to my teams.
