Professional experience

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS CONNECTIONS

Business English Coach and Organizational Project Instructor 2011 to Current

• Uses a proprietary business English program for university students and corporate executives to teach them English as a second language. Non-native speakers of English typically face considerable difficulty when attempting to quickly acquire business English skills. The BESL method, Business English as a Second Language, contributes to learners' ability to communicate in English with confidence in three months or more.

• This method also contributes to higher TOEIC / TOEFL / IELTS scores for university students.

• Has published a few books based on the same approach such as: "Learn English like a Newborn to Speak it like a native: The fastest way to get rid of your foreign accent in English"; "The Winds of Change: 10 C-Level Dialogues to improve your English."

• Many professional clients have trusted us with their business English and project management instruction needs.

CISCO SYSTEMS

Sales and Business Development Executive in Atlanta, Georgia and Dakar, Senegal 2005 to 2009

• Implemented the systematic use of the SalesForce application in a Cisco sales territory in Dakar, Senegal, to contribute to meeting its quota for the very first time. The data collected, which captured the voice of the customer, fostered a new candid and personal relationship that helped shorten the sales cycle, allowing this territory to finally reach its $2 million annual quota.

• In Atlanta, Georgia, for the same position, by consistently exceeding all known company sales metrics (i.e., number of interactions, presentations, follow-up calls, face-to-face visits, etc.), contributed to senior management's decision to reshape a non-productive Texas territory comprised primarily of businesses that lacked the financial wherewithal and need for Cisco's high-end Unified Communication solutions.
