For the past 15 years, my business development and sales management experience has spanned selling into scientific organizations, large hospitals, commercial agricultural companies, clinical laboratories, and academic institutions, as well as training and supporting distributors in Mexico and South America. I have closed several strategic partnership deals with high-value customers and managed double-digit YoY revenue growth of many of Agena\'s largest accounts in North America.After graduating from the University of California, San Diego with a Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering, I entered the life sciences field as an in-house Engineer responsible for testing genetic analysis instrumentation, including MALDI-TOF mass spectrometers and liquid handling robots.
