Highly competent, personable and results driven General/Executive Sales Manager, skilled in driving sales growth and leading and inspiring high-performance teams. I can cut through the peripheral to articulate a clear shared pathway and vision in a straightforward simple manner, increasing revenue, gross margins, and customer satisfaction. Obsessed with customer centricity and its continuous improvement.I am known for joining businesses at critical times, often when they are experiencing pain or have significant challenges, and quickly turning things around, having an impact early on in my tenure, through quickly diagnosing the key issues, engaging in robust and honest conversations, developing pragmatic solutions, and translating business strategy into simple actionable objectives and plans for individuals in my team.My open, honest, and transparent management style earns the respect and support of those I interface with, a genuine and approachable leader who makes firm and fair management decisions, breaks down roadblocks and barriers and communicates targets with clarity and purpose. Through coaching and empowering my staff with the space to stretch and develop, my teams not just meet but exceed KPI’s, this can be backed through my high engagement percentile gallop scores. I'm attracted to forward-thinking SME organisations and large scale multi-nationals where commercial pragmatism, strategic thinking and authentic and decisive leadership is required.
