My leadership extended to an international sales team that comprised 10 staff members and 12 re-sellers. In my role, I reported weekly to the CEO and conducted monthly reviews with the Board of Directors. I was entrusted with full P&L responsibility and successfully spearheaded the growth of our sales from the ground up, alongside building a robust pipeline, with a significant portion derived from SaaS and the rest from our Digital Agency services. I maintained an impressive client retention rate, managed the complete RFP life cycle, and led contract negotiations for some of our most significant deals.
