With over 9 years of experience in sales, marketing, and business development, I am a results-driven professional dedicated to achieving sustainable business growth. Currently serving as Head of Commercial at GCL Food Ingredients, I lead the sales, marketing, and NPD functions, delivering innovative strategies that align with company goals and drive measurable results. I hold an MBA from the Quantic School of Business and Technology, where I gained advanced knowledge in global business strategy and leadership. Additionally, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business and Economics from Nottingham Trent University, specializing in strategy, finance, and management. My academic foundation has been instrumental in shaping my ability to develop data-driven strategies and lead cross-functional teams effectively. Throughout my career, I’ve excelled in client relationship management, strategic planning, and driving cross-functional collaboration. Whether managing national accounts, advancing business development, or supporting mergers and acquisitions, I focus on delivering impactful outcomes.
