Sam Ross
London,United Kingdom
Summary
I am a passionate professional with hands-on experience running my own online business on platforms including Amazon and Shopify. I've also worked with well-known Amazon agencies and an aggregator along the way. My journey has taken me through different industries, helping clients expand into new markets and countries.
I'm known for my straightforward and honest approach to work, and I've consistently hit or exceeded sales targets by working closely with my team. Now, I'm excited about taking the next step in my career. I'm looking for a company where I can share what I've learned, help others grow, and build lasting client relationships. My goal is to move into an Account Director/Client Manager role where I can use my experience to make an even bigger impact and achieve greater results.
