Summary

For over 20 years I have been a motivated and highly professional sales manager across Australia and New Zealand. I am results-driven and known for my high productivity and efficient task completion. I am skilled in strategic planning, dealer relationship management, and market analysis.

My strengths also include adept negotiation skills, strong business acumen, and ability to drive revenue growth. I have a strong track record of achieving targets and hitting KPI's. I am technically savvy, goal oriented and driven. I have a mindset of “anything is possible” with calculated risk. I am skilled in prioritising and completing tasks independently and have a proven record in sales whilst being a conscientious and loyal member of a team.

Most of all, I am a proud wife and mother of a beautiful daughter.
