Experienced strategy and innovation business development manager focused to the global Earth Intelligence, telecommunication and geospatial vertical markets. Specialized in complex negotiations with international customers proven by a track record of success in identifying and pushing innovations through partnerships with startups and Fortune 2000 companies. I excel at transforming a company’s vision into actual sales. Across my 20-year career, ideas I have brought to life include a brand-new line of business, entry into new markets and verticals, a comprehensive pipeline-building process, and support for strategic acquisitions. Working for global companies, my purview and influence have reached across the EMEA and Global markets. An effective negotiator and closer, I am enthusiastic about working with teams that capture new business, build robust pipelines, and develop and implement go-to-market strategies. Because I have a technical background and understand the relationship between technology products and sales strategies, I am ideally positioned to explain the benefits of a technical solution to my customers.
