Business Development Manager

Summary

I'm a high volume based Business Development professional with a wealth of experience in small medium and large organizations in the security sector. I have a solid track record of identifying opportunities, winning new business, and driving growth through ownership of the sales strategy from start to finish. I hold an MBA from the European University of Madrid and I thrive on taking ownership of projects through years of expertise in organizing business operations, financial oversight and resource management to achieve smooth flow and project operations. I'm diligent in my work and never short of a suggestion for my clients, taking pride in problem solving with a view of adding value where possible. If content is the Saville Row of communications, I'm the master tailor with the know how required for it to suit its particularly audience, if selling a product or service is an art then call me the new age Basquiat, ready and willing to add my individual empathetic flair and volume driven approach to any organization. I'm an all-round hard worker, I like to learn, I'm competitive and I take pride in doing good work which for me translates to Personal Responsibility in Delivering Excellence at all times.
