Throughout my more than 20 year career in business development and marketing, I have diligently focused on revenue growth and client retention success. As my department restructured following a February 2020 combination, I took on a dual leadership role managing the client development, pursuits and experience teams. I motivated, coached and supported these three distinct teams across six domestic offices and one international office through a simultaneous merger and pandemic. The latter resulted in pivoting to a fully virtual work environment, where I continued to develop strong working relationships across internal stakeholders and operations colleagues. I provide candid advice focused on long-term client relationship success. I am experienced and measured in fast-paced, competitive environments.
