About

Love to be immersed in small start up > scale up teams, where collaboration, experimentation, hustle & agility are key. Thrive off coaching and leaning on experience and knowledge to drive sales excellence, revenue/volume growth and landing new logos. Technology is changing supply chain & trade, yet the majority of B2B selling is done in the 'old world' way; I help build sales teams that win based on value, consultation and employ structure & sales process beyond the client/rep meeting.
