London, GB

After serving as a Senior Renewals Manager, I made a strategic pivot into an SDR role at Akamai to build frontline expertise in prospecting, pipeline growth, and SaaS sales.This combination allows me to connect the dots between customer retention and new acquisition — driving revenue not just by winning new business, but by building lasting customer relationships that ensure long-term growth.
