Summary

I’m a results-focused leader with experience in business development, operations, and marketing. I was promoted into my current Business Development Manager role, where I’ve been successful driving growth and managing my own workload. Before that, I led a branch, consistently hitting targets and keeping the team engaged. I also ran an automotive workshop, handling everything from finances and marketing to team management and securing national repair deals. On top of that, I’ve managed national retail marketing programs, including planning campaigns, budgets, and tracking results. I’m a problem solver who’s always looking for practical solutions, passionate about adding real value, and believe strong relationships are key to long-term success.
