As an account manager within the Mid-Ticket department I was instrumental in growing our presence in Alberta and throughout western Canada. My responsibilities included; on-boarding new vendors in the transportation, construction & energy industries, building an end user base and working with our credit department to develop product offerings. As we successfully implemented our product I increased sales growth for seven consecutive years from volumes of $5MM annually to over $40MM in my final year. Being a top performer I won several awards including 5 straight years as an achiever, awarded to account managers who hit at least 105% of their profit targets. In the last few years I was top three in profit for the entire company and was the top volume generator in my final two years.

As an account manager with Mercado Capital, I began my leasing career as a member of the inside sales team. During my first year we on-boarded roughly 15 new brokers and consistently had sales of over $2MM/month. While on the broker desk I also helped develop and manage several white label leasing platforms, partnering with both a major transportation insurance company and with a national factor finance organization. In my second year I was promoted into an outside sales position, originating vendor and direct business owner transactions throughout Saskatchewan and Manitoba. I was also tasked with setting up auto dealerships on our sister company, WS Leasing’s, vendor finance program. With WS Leasing I set up their first dealership networks in Manitoba and Saskatchewan while also learning the direct origination's business for Mercado. My early traveling and origination experience was instrumental in my career development and helped lay the foundation for how I approach business today.
