About

I am an experienced business development professional. My experience includes working with highly regulated solutions and complex products in telecommunications, technology, aerospace, and professional services. I have worked as an individual contributor, key team member, and leader of national accounts to deliver results. My strong interpersonal skills and business acumen have led to my success in generating new business as well as growing existing accounts. My consultative approach and genuine interest in the success of my clients is what drives my success. I learn the products quickly and ask questions to understand their needs. I also communicate the unique value of each solution in an actionable manner to technical and non-technical audiences to ensure that they realize their goals with the selected solutions. I apply this approach to each interaction with clients of all sizes from mid-market to Fortune 500 and every organization in between to propel mutual growth.
