Summary

High-achieving National Sales Manager with over 10 years' experience in the Healthcare industry . Skilled in responding to changing market needs and initiating new marketing strategies to attract customers and drive sales. A particular strength is the ability to motivate teams; taking a collaborative approach and working alongside them to achieve mutual goals.

I have worked in Wound Care for the past 9 years, selling to and growing sales across Pharmacy, Community Nursing, Aged Care, Hospitals and Allied Health. I appreciate that different approaches are needed to be successful in each market, and with recent distributor experience, feel that I am in a unique position in knowing what works for all markets.
