I have built an exciting career around my passion; creating new business opportunities through international sales while maintaining an ethical business ethos.
During my career I’ve had the opportunity to work with businesses of many different sizes, locations and various stages in their development. Through this I’ve seen how transformational international sales can be to a business, but also how daunting and complex the process seems, particularly if you are unsure where to start.
My focus (and passion) now is helping other businesses achieve their goals and break into new markets. I am actively involved in working alongside my clients to provide them tailored guidance and services. I am looking forward to learning more about you, your business and your sales objectives so we can work together to achieve them.
