About Kyler Vela

I am a self-motivated, results-oriented individual with experience in Sales, Business Management, and Finance. I have honed my skills in team management, price negotiations, developing sales strategy, and building customer rapport with key account management. This coupled with my academic career in Business and Economics through both my undergraduate and graduate level (MBA) studies. While also holding certifications from Cornell University in Sales Growth and Data Science with SQL and Tableau. In my current role, my communication skills have defused countless tense situations, and I work effectively in high-pressure situations. I have consistently demonstrated leadership, communication, and problem-solving abilities in every aspect of my Sales Representative roles.
