With more than 15 years of leadership experience in sales, marketing, and team development, I’ve had the opportunity to maximize sales volume and raise brand awareness while successfully building a talent pipeline. I have a reputation for integrating my knowledge in sales and operations, transforming the stereotypically siloed approach to improve outcomes for businesses, customers, and individual employees.

The constant push to close more sales with fewer resources wears on some sales professionals; I thrive on it.

WHAT DO I DO? Cultivate top-performing sales talent and prospect, market, and sell products/services, blazing a trail of success across diverse industries including manufacturing and designer fashion and jewelry.

HOW DO I DO IT? By analyzing sales data, defining processes, and using technology, I build on successes to work more efficiently -- outpacing other sales teams. I coach my teams to pay attention to customer needs, allowing them to uncover solutions that best serve customers while aligning with business goals – resulted in growing a team of 19 and promoted 3 sales leads to managers. 

Typically, I am a catalyst for change and growth within an organization, constantly seeking new ways to improve or modify existing processes and provides the framework and business judgment necessary to evaluate various company initiatives. I lead with transparency and collaboration, using timely and meaningful tools that provide practical solutions for achieving business goals, profitability, and sustainable growth.
