As a Vice President of Business Development at Vervent, I bring over 20 years of experience in sales, leadership, driving revenue growth, and fostering high-performing teams across the finance and lease-to-own sectors. My previous role emphasized aligning regional sales strategies with national objectives, enabling GMV growth, and leading cross-functional initiatives alongside operations, sales operations, product, and marketing teams. Recent successes include a YoY GMV increase to $210.7M in 2024, achieved through targeted strategies and collaborative execution. Throughout my career, I’ve been a culture builder and a leader focused on scalable systems, team development, and market expansion. I partnered on the creation of a nationwide training program that empowered merchant teams to improve sales efficiency and customer acquisition. Whether collaborating with executive stakeholders or championing DE & I initiatives, my leadership approach balances data-driven decision-making with a people-first mindset to deliver sustainable business impact.
