About
Learning is my ignition fuel. The speeding into the sales-y sunset is a golden bonus. Hi! I am Maria Saleem, a human. Welcome to my profile and make yourself at home. Tea? I am a business development and sales professional with a background in marketing and a soul of a writer. I was also a pre-med student, which will come into play later. I have: - Acquired an early-age startup’s first brand partnership in under three months- Closed $17K on a single sale, creating a record of its kind- Designed the pitch deck for the world’s biggest music-streaming company to use local services - Worked with a Penguin author and multiple other happy clients who are now published with my name in their acknowledgements. I closed the last sales quarter containing record individual sale, a girl who was Director Publications at my university’s Literary Society. Every role comes with new learning, and all of my somewhat-similar corporate roles have always had one and my favourite streak in common: technology. Currently, I work at Poulta, out here to revolutionise the long-ignored poultry industry with some tech💫 Poulta: Offers tools to ensure biosecurity of the environment, chick health, and visibility into important commercial KPIs like real-time FCR, feed efficiency, ADG, among others – through hardware and software one-screen-view-all tools empowering you to make faster, proactive decisions to cut costs and increase profits.
