Experience

1. Business Development Consultant

   Execconnect

   Jan 2016 — Present · Austin, TX, US

   I work closely with C-suite executives, including CEOs, COOs, and CFOs, to ensure that business development initiatives are fully aligned with the company’s overarching strategic goals and long-term vision. My role involves conducting thorough market research and analyzing industry trends to identify new business opportunities, emerging markets, and potential partnerships across sectors such as technology, healthcare, and manufacturing. I build and nurture strategic relationships with key stakeholders, including clients, partners, distributors, and industry professionals, to facilitate growth and collaboration. Leading revenue growth initiatives is a core part of my responsibilities, which includes developing and executing effective sales strategies, negotiating contracts, and closing deals. I provide leadership, guidance, and mentorship to the business development team, helping enhance their performance and achieve ambitious targets. Additionally, I manage budgets related to business development activities, carefully assessing the financial implications to ensure alignment with organizational objectives. To support data-driven decision-making, I track, measure, and report on key performance indicators (KPIs) of business development projects to senior management. I also collaborate closely with clients to consult on business planning, operational improvements, and sustainable growth strategies tailored to their specific needs.
