My experience includes developing outreach strategies, creating proposals, conducting presentations, and collaborating with marketing and sales teams.

As a sales leader, I have mentored team members, contributed to recruitment and training, tracked performance, and helped teams work toward monthly and annual revenue targets. I value clear communication, stakeholder alignment, and structured execution in cross-functional environments.

I am experienced in using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Salesforce, Apollo, Lusha, Power BI, Tableau, and Microsoft Office to research markets, manage leads, analyze performance, and improve sales activity. I am currently focused on growing strategic partnerships and commercial opportunities in digital recruitment advertising.
