About me

I have a deep understanding of business software solutions and have worked with diverse sectors including manufacturing, medical devices, food and beverage, and high tech. My experience spans hunting for new business opportunities as well as managing and growing existing accounts. I am a self-starter with strong problem-solving skills and a collaborative approach, often working closely with cross-functional teams such as marketing, finance, and solution engineering.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated leadership in sales cycles, delivering strategic account planning and financial analysis to articulate value propositions and business impact. I am proficient in Salesforce CRM, enabling accurate forecasting and pipeline management. My communication skills are excellent, allowing me to engage effectively in C-level conversations and presentations.

I am bilingual in French and English, which has enabled me to prospect French-speaking territories in Canada, Europe, and Africa. I am passionate about driving business growth through innovative software solutions and enjoy working in dynamic, fast-paced environments where I can leverage my skills to exceed targets and contribute to organizational success.

I hold a Master of Business Administration with a major in Entrepreneurship from Babson Graduate School of Business. My career journey has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of sales strategies, supply chain management, and analytics software, positioning me as a valuable asset for companies seeking to expand their market presence and optimize business processes.
