What I bring to every engagement: 🔍 Market intelligence that shapes the pitch, not just supports it 🤝 Consultative, relationship-first B2B selling 📈 Key account growth through understanding client goals, not quota-chasing 📊 Data-driven decision-making, backed by an MBA in Sales & Marketing and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Long-term goal: senior leadership—Client Partner, Business Head, or Growth Leader—where research, strategy, and execution combine to drive growth at scale.
