In my current role at Jannatec Technologies, I serve as a strategic partner for B2B clients in the mining and heavy infrastructure sectors, providing advanced communication and safety solutions. I am responsible for managing the full sales cycle, from identifying new business opportunities to conducting technical presentations on our suite of innovative products, including collision avoidance systems (JAWS), smart helmets, and Motorola radio infrastructure. By performing detailed needs and cost-benefit analyses, I help clients integrate cutting-edge wearable technologies to enhance worker safety and operational efficiency. I maintain long-term relationships with key accounts to ensure successful product implementation and ongoing technical support, bridging the gap between complex technology and practical site requirements.

As the founder of a regional construction firm, I oversaw the end-to-end operations of a high-growth business, specializing in the management of complex projects and diverse workforces. My role focused on the strategic coordination of multi-disciplinary sub-trades and internal employees to ensure every project was delivered on time and exceeded client standards. By implementing robust financial management practices and streamlining project logistics, I successfully drove year-over-year profit increases and scaled the company’s market presence. This period of sustained growth and operational excellence culminated in the successful sale of the company in January 2026, marking a significant milestone in my career as an entrepreneur and leader.

Following my success as a District Manager, I was promoted to Area Sales Manager for Northern Ontario, where I assumed full operational and strategic responsibility for the entire territory north of Barrie. In this senior leadership capacity, I managed and mentored the District Sales Managers for both the Sudbury and Barrie regions, ensuring regional alignment with corporate sales objectives. My role focused on driving high-level performance across a vast geography, optimizing distribution networks, and maintaining executive-level relationships with key retail partners. By overseeing multiple districts, I successfully streamlined regional communication and implemented standardized merchandising and sales strategies that maximized market share throughout Northern Ontario.

Following a promotion to District Sales Manager, I transitioned into a leadership role overseeing a team of sales representatives across the Barrie region and surrounding large-scale territories. In this capacity, I was responsible for the strategic management of my team to ensure peak performance and the successful execution of retail programs. A primary focus of my role involved collaborating directly with senior sales managers and store leadership to secure and implement high-impact product displays within large-format stores. By providing consistent coaching and mentorship, I ensured my team met all distribution targets while maintaining the high merchandising standards required for national accounts and big-box environments

In my role as a B2B Sales Representative at ColdHaus Direct, I spearheaded sales and distribution efforts across a diverse territory, managing accounts that ranged from local independent retailers to major national big-box chains like Walmart. I was responsible for the entire territory management lifecycle, which included identifying new business opportunities to scale market presence and nurturing long-term relationships with store managers to ensure optimal product visibility. My day-to-day involved overseeing the full sales cycle and Direct Store Delivery (DSD) process, where I coordinated with warehouse teams to ensure seamless logistics, accurate invoicing, and consistent account growth across all retail channels.
