Caye Caulker, Bz

With over 20 years of experience in hospitality both in fine dining and on private yachts, I helped co-found an Italian Cucina with my family on the tiny Island of Caye Caulker,BZ. When we started our staff could barely hold a tray, and or had never worked in a professional kitchen - we had to bring in North American servers and Italian Chefs. Now, 10 years on, we are proud to boast an entirely Belizean team running the restaurant from floor to kitchen. Our restaurant is not only about providing exceptional guest experiences to island visitors, outside of typical Belizean fare, but also empowering our people to love and be proud of what they do. We encourage our team members to pursue big goals whether that's buying their own home or even starting their own side businesses. We are there to support them and provide coaching along whatever goal they are working towards.

I offer clients a variety of sales, business development and marketing solutions. Clients such as The Sales Connection, College Shortcuts, Plascon Plastics, Eartheasy and Sherpa Ventures.As a sole proprietor and entrepreneur, I know how to work hard, as the reality is you get what you put into your business and no one is going to do it for you. If I don’t hustle, I don’t get paid. I have an innate work ethic and understanding of what it takes to create a thriving business that many from more traditional backgrounds do not have. I do not know complacency. I have had to learn by doing, take calculated risks, and wear many hats during my career as a solopreneur both in my business with Bespoke, as a consultant, and my with start-ups. I am curious by nature, adaptable, and a problem solver and I have a high level of empathy for business owners and executives as I understand what it takes to grow a business. I love drilling down with my clients in identifying their pain points and then helping to solve them. • Supported the strategy, targeting, development, execution, and measurement for data-driven marketing campaigns in owned and paid channels.• Optimized the sales management process to maximize revenue by increasing velocity, efficiency, effectiveness, value-selling, and visibility into the pipeline.• Prospected, qualified and closed inbound leads using LinkedIn, and various inbound and outbound marketing channels and attending events• Maintained and managed customer relationships using various CRM's including Close.io, Zoho, SalesForce
