➥ In order to excel in today’s competitive business environment, a business leader needs a balance of business development, human resource and customer service expertise - backed by robust networking skills. I combine over 10+ years’ experience leading strategic sales, business development, recruiting and human resource goals for multiple high-profile organizations; building the strategic relationships that drive significant, sustainable and scalable business growth; generating, maintaining and nurturing a strategic pipeline of motivated and brand-loyal clients and talent; and painstakingly laying the foundations for success – one customer and one new hire at a time.➥ I excel at identifying and engaging high-potential clients and talent, empowering customers and staff with value-driven and customized solutions, providing limitless support throughout the sales cycle and talent cycle, striking a balance between the client’s needs and the company’s business objectives, and bridging the gap between on-paper strategy and real-world execution. I believe a successful business leader must have a big-picture mindset, working with a forward-looking vision and strategy that successfully unites short-term revenue goals with long-term strategic objectives.➥ I am an effective listener who absorbs information like a sponge and doesn’t rush client interactions to close a deal. Rather than treat my clients as a means to an end, I handle each one with patience and understanding. I listen to each customer’s goals and pain points so I can better align their needs with what I’m offering. This makes each customer touchpoint more relevant, meaningful and solutions-oriented. Customers appreciate my accessibility, and I appreciate their business.➥ I have the communication skills to clearly articulate my vision, persuade people to take action, and get the ball rolling in the right direction. Whether I’m sending out emails, communicating with a client, negotiating with a vendor, or anything in between; I communicate quickly, accurately and effectively.☛ Key Skills ☚ ✦ Leadership & Team Building✦ Human Resources✦ Technical Recruiting✦ Strategic Planning & Execution✦ Consultative Sales✦ Apprenticeship Program Development✦ Workforce Development✦ WIOA Training Talent Fund ✦ Strategic Networking✦ Relationship Building ✦ Talent Acquisition✦ Business Development✦ Project Management
