Summary

I am a motivated and results-driven sales and business development professional with five years of experience across the FMCG and financial services sectors. I began my career in sales, working across both local and export markets, where I built a strong foundation in client relationship management and deal execution.

Over the past two years, I have transitioned into the financial services industry, focusing on trade credit insurance. In my previous role as a Business Development Manager, I was responsible for generating new business opportunities, managing end-to-end sales cycles, and maintaining relationships with insurers and clients across diverse sectors.

Currently, I serve as a Key Account Manager in trade credit insurance, where I oversee a portfolio of strategic clients. I support them in navigating credit risk, optimizing policy performance, and ensuring their evolving needs are met with tailored insurance solutions.

Known for my adaptability, clear communication, and proactive approach to building relationships, I thrive in dynamic environments, and am committed to delivering measurable results. I am now looking to further apply my skills and experience in a role where I can drive growth, and add long-term value.
