International/National Account Sales/Marketing Manager

Having a business undergraduate degree and an MBA, I have a variety of experiences in areas such as: management, sales, promotions, marketing, finance and product positioning. Most recently I have worked as a National Account Manager, overlooking an entire market, and had the responsibilities that consist of building a brand on a national level and creating the distribution channels. I have developed positive relations with key accounts and have interacted with senior level management. I am focused, determined and work well within all cultures and settings. I think that I would be a great fit for the organization and would commit to representing the organization and business on all levels.

Travel /relocation worldwide is not an issue.

“Focused, determined and driven MBA graduate, with exceptional analytical capability, intense intellectual curiosity, excellent business development and relationship management skills, broad business management experience, and sound judgment seeking to secure employment with your organization”.
