Sales & Business Development

I am a driven sales and business development professional with over eight years of experience building high-value client relationships, closing consultative deals, and growing revenue across competitive markets. My career spans premium client services, SDR roles, B2B media sales, digital marketing, and CRM operations, and I bring a track record of finding the right opportunity, earning trust quickly, and turning that trust into long-term value. I am now deliberately moving into Web3 and crypto, an industry I have been following, studying, and genuinely excited about for several years. I have working knowledge of blockchain ecosystems, tokenisation, DAOs, DeFi, and digital asset markets, and I understand how these products work well enough to have real conversations with clients about them. What I bring to a Web3 sales role is not just enthusiasm, but a proven ability to translate complex products into clear value for sophisticated clients, manage pipelines with discipline, and build the kind of trusted relationships that drive long-term retention and growth. I thrive in remote-first, high-accountability environments and have consistently delivered in roles where results, not hours, define success. I am looking for a team where I can grow into the crypto space properly, contribute commercially from day one, and build a career in an industry I genuinely believe in.
