About

I mastered sales early, leveraging experiences across over 50 countries. My career journey includes standout moments and significant achievements: **Early Sales Experience** Became the top sales specialist at Good Feet Store during college in the 1990s, where I honed skills in CRM, sales metrics, inside sales, and sales processes. This foundational experience proved invaluable as Good Feet recently secured an $800M investment. **Adventures in Argentina** In a dramatic turn of events, I departed Argentina on the last flight on December 20, 2001, just moments before an economic collapse. This wasn't just a business trip; it was a crash course in navigating the complexities of Latin American markets. **Corporate Success** Recognized as a high-potential employee, I led a commercial team across Latin America and orchestrated the largest project deal in Mexico for generic pharmaceuticals. Despite challenges, I navigated the project away from a potential $10M fine, maintaining corporate integrity and success. **Entrepreneurial Ventures** My entrepreneurial spirit led me to start, scale, and successfully exit a business doing $15M, employing 150 people, earning recognition in Forbes. **Top Digital Marketer** In 2021, Meta recognized my performance by extending a $12.6M credit line. **AI Technology ** In 2023 and 2024, I immersed myself in groundbreaking technology, learning an innovative solution set to make a substantial impact.
