Summary

STRATEGIC SALES LEADER

As a seasoned and self-motivated sales professional with 16 years of enterprise selling experience, I have consistently delivered results through a strategic approach to selling and the ability to build strong relationships with key decision-makers. I have a proven track record of growing revenue, building pipelines, and supporting top and bottom-line revenue targets.

I have developed a deep understanding of the market and customers' needs. I have successfully sold strategic solutions to enterprise customers, utilising expertise in market analysis, competitive intelligence, and customer insights to create value propositions that resonate with decision-makers. I am skilled in identifying new opportunities and developing strategies to penetrate new markets and verticals.

I have also demonstrated the ability to build and position myself as a trusted advisor to customers and partners. By leveraging networks and experience, I have successfully established long-term relationships that have resulted in repeat business and new opportunities. In addition to my sales expertise, I bring a collaborative approach to working with internal teams and external partners. I am adept at working with cross-functional teams to develop and execute go-to-market strategies that align with business objectives and drive revenue growth. My experience and skills make me a strong candidate for any enterprise sales role where I can leverage my expertise in strategic solution selling, revenue growth, pipeline development, and CXO relationship building to drive business success.

A hardworking and determined person who is driven to achieve successful outcomes professionally and personally.
