About

I am a seasoned sales professional with over 20 years of experience in medical and technical environments, both nationally and internationally. I have consistently exceeded sales targets and expanded customer bases, earning recognition and awards for outstanding achievements. My strength lies in building rapport and trust with customers, which has resulted in substantial repeat business. I am known for my strong customer focus, excellent service delivery, and ability to adapt quickly to new work situations. I emphasize lead generation, qualification, and account renewals across various sectors, and I am currently seeking a new challenge to leverage my skills and experience further. My career highlights include working as a freelance consultant, where I offered strategic expertise, training, and mentoring to companies in power, energy, and renewable energy sectors, as well as IoT and sensor technology. I have held significant roles such as Sales Manager at Ellab UK Ltd., where I developed strategies for thermal validation and monitoring solutions, and Sales and Support Director at Orthofix EMEA, where I significantly increased sales and built strategic relationships across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Additionally, my roles at Murray Surgical Ltd, Malosa Ltd, and Fannin Medcare Limited involved promoting and selling medical products, training surgeons and staff, and achieving substantial sales growth. My educational background includes a Diploma in International Marketing, and I have completed various sales, management, and product training courses.

Best back-end engineers I've ever worked with...​

“I interviewed about a dozen different firms. DevsData LLC is truly exceptional – their backend developers are some of the best I’ve ever worked with. I’ve worked with a lot of very well-qualified developers, locally in San Francisco, and remotely, so that is not a compliment I offer lightly. I appreciate their depth of knowledge and their ability to get things done quickly. “
