Commercial Manager

I graduated with my MSc in International Marketing from Newcastle University in 2021 and launched my career in sales across Australia and New Zealand. At The Progress Faculty, I achieved the fastest promotion in company history within two weeks while consistently exceeding revenue targets.

My experience spans diverse industries, from coordinating major events at Volvo Commercial Vehicles to managing premium travel experiences in Queenstown, where I achieved near 5-star customer satisfaction ratings.Currently serving as Commercial Manager for Ambrey International's West African maritime security division, I've secured hundreds of thousands in new client contracts within six months while building strategic relationships across global markets. My track record of delivering results across four countries demonstrates strong cross-cultural communication and business development skills.

I'm actively engaged with Lisbon's blockchain and Web3 community, where I've developed genuine passion for decentralized technologies and their potential to reshape business models. Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, camping, and reading about innovation and entrepreneurship, constantly seeking inspiration for breakthrough opportunities.

Worked at a direct - sales, door to door sales agency fundraising for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance and other blue - chip charities. I have learnt resilience, how to sell to anyone and developed a strong work ethic. I was a leader in the company who focused on bringing infectious motivation and drive every day to attack my goals, picking people up when they are down and leading from the front with my performance week in and week out.
Retail Marketing Coordinator

My main role was to manage customer events, market to employees with recruitment campaigns and boost internal and external communications throughout VCVA.
