About

All my sales and business development experience has provided me with a strong understanding of territory development, sales management, marketing, and finance, as well as problem solving, customer service and operations. I am able to identify, acquire, and develop accounts, and have been recognized throughout my career for my ability to increase sales and revenue. In my last positions I have consistently reached (and even exceeded) all the existing revenue goals. I used to work under pressure and am looking for a new challenge.
