Success is built on trust! That is the recipe that I shamelessly stole and that has proven to work! I have been successful throughout my career at building strong partnerships with customers of all types and sizes. The key to my success has been my focus on working collaboratively in partnerships to create value for both parties and to build significant trust. I have a proven ability to negotiate and secure long term agreements that are profitable to all. This approach has led me to a steady progression in my career and has molded me in to a highly effective Sales Executive. I am also truly passionate about people. Leading, mentoring and coaching at all levels is a true motivation. I have excelled at both building talented teams from scratch and creating significant value with teams that I have inherited. My mantra is that I work for my team, they do not work for me. Removing all roadblocks that will allow them to do their job efficiently will allow them to grow personally, professionally and will lead to success. Seeing people grow and having them trust me with their progression is extremely rewarding! My expertise is to make organizations shine by focusing on people and by building sustainable relationships through trust. Thinking strategically to build steady growth and working collaboratively to create a winning culture is what I will bring day in day out. Key competencies include: I am a fluently bilingual executive with solid commercial and sales experience in the consumer goods industry.
