About

Professional summary

I am a results-driven sales leader with more than 10 years of experience building revenue engines, developing high-performing teams, and creating scalable sales infrastructure.

I have led business development, inside sales, and account management functions across B2B, industrial, construction, automotive, and government-facing environments. My background includes building departments from the ground up, designing CRM workflows, establishing KPIs, and improving pipeline visibility and forecasting discipline.

I am strongest in consultative selling, strategic relationship management, and operational leadership. I enjoy turning market insight into action, aligning teams around measurable goals, and helping organizations grow through better process, stronger execution, and disciplined execution.

I have also worked as an independent consultant, advising companies on U.S. market entry, go-to-market strategy, competitive positioning, and business development. That work strengthened my ability to think strategically, analyze markets, and communicate with executive stakeholders.

In addition to sales leadership, I bring experience in claims handling and customer-facing operations, which has reinforced my attention to detail, compliance awareness, and ability to manage complex situations calmly and professionally.

I am open to opportunities where I can contribute to revenue growth, team development, and operational improvement in a leadership or senior individual contributor role.
