Director, Sales Us & Canada
New York, Us
I expanded my expertise with financial technology products and services by working as a Senior Account Executive until my promotion to the newly created Sales Director position in 2013. In both roles, I have advised executives in the global banking, deal making, and capital markets communities. As Director, I lead sales across the US and Canada. My leadership activities involved recruiting internal and external reps in building an eight-person team. During the past five years, I have mentored and trained several reps into senior account executives. I also removed two low performers and recruited two external A-players to take over open positions.As a Director in 2017, seven out of eight people qualified for the Presidents Club, including myself. In addition, we closed the largest new business deal in company history.Accomplishments:* 2017: Finished year at 116% of plan, growing regional bookings by 32% YOY. * 2016: Completed year at 118% of plan; grew regional bookings by 35% YOY. * 2015: Finished year at 112% of plan, growing regional bookings by 26% YOY.* 2014: Ended year at 110% of plan and grew regional bookings by 28% YOY. * 2013: Finished year at 105% of plan, growing regional bookings by 25% YOY.* Key Accounts: As Director, I earned key wins at IBM, American Express, Procter & Gamble, Barrick Gold, RBC, Suncor Energy, Verizon, PNC, GE Capital, TD, Merck, J&J, General Electric, Bombardier, Barnes & Noble, Westinghouse, Kindred Healthcare, Sears Canada, NRG, Genworth, and BMO.
