As a business development professional, I focused on identifying potential customers and actively pursuing them. This involved researching new markets and identifying potential business opportunities. I also maintained an up-to-date database of leads, which I used to track progress and prioritize follow-up efforts. Once key decision-makers within organizations were identified, I contacted these individuals by email, phone, or in-person meetings to pitch our products or services and build relationships. My focus was developing new business opportunities with specific targets in areas of high COVID-related issues and understanding their needs and proposing solutions that met their requirements. I also worked with cross-functional groups within the organization to ensure that we could deliver on our promises and meet customer expectations. I collaborated with other teams within the organization to develop and implement marketing strategies that aligned with our overall business goals. This included developing marketing collateral, such as brochures, presentations and sales materials, to support our sales efforts. I also tracked the effectiveness of our marketing efforts and made adjustments as needed to achieve our goals of increasing sales, business expansion, and company revenue.

As the project manager leading the weekly meetings for the bring-up of the Oncology and COVID-19 laboratories statewide, I ensured that all necessary stakeholders were present and informed on all compliance requirements and that all safety protocols were followed in ensuring that the opening of the laboratories was successful and compliant with all applicable laws and regulations. It was my responsibility to capture all the important points discussed during meetings, including decisions made, action items, and any other relevant information. I would then work with the appropriate team members to assign responsibility for each action item and set deadlines for completion. This allowed our team to work together effectively and achieve our goals.It is my responsibility to identify and implement initiatives that can promote sustainability and cost reduction, while still meeting the company's strategic objectives. By implementing sustainable initiatives, such as eliminating the use of plastic bottles and improving employees' lunch programs, I was able to reduce operating expenses by over $500/month, which can translate into significant cost savings over time.

As a technical training program manager, my primary responsibility is to coordinate, prepare, and maintain the required footwear training program, ensuring that it meets the measurable goals and objectives within the guidelines and parameters of the program. Providing a comprehensive training program ensures that employees have the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their job functions effectively and efficiently. Nike Footwear Training Program covered topics such as product lifecycle from end to end, safety procedures and machines used to bring a shoe to life. I collaborated directly with shoe professionals who have worked in the industry for decades, which allowed me to confidently mentor and monitor the progress of each employee's training path. With a standardized program, all employees receive the same training, regardless of their location and department. This consistency helps create a cohesive culture and fosters a sense of unity among employees. With structured training, I was able to deliver skills and knowledge in footwear, increasing their value to the organization and enhancing their career prospects.
