Services offered

I am a results-driven sales hunter with a sharp focus on identifying and capitalizing on new business opportunities. With deep roots and a strong network in the polymer industry, I specialize in opening doors, building relationships, and driving revenue growth. I combine industry expertise with outside-the-box thinking to craft solutions that resonate with customers and set my offerings apart from the competition. Whether it's leveraging long-standing contacts or uncovering hidden potential in niche markets, I thrive on turning challenges into wins and prospects into long-term partners.

Approximate rate: USD$ 50 per hour

Experience

I bring a well-rounded background that spans manufacturing, product development, technical sales, and commodity sales. I began my career in manufacturing, gaining hands-on experience and a strong understanding of production processes. I then transitioned into product development, collaborating closely with engineering and R&D teams to deliver innovative solutions. From there, I moved into sales—leveraging my technical foundation to connect with customers, solve complex challenges, and drive growth. My experience also includes commodity sales, where I’ve managed pricing dynamics and supply chain variables while building strong, value-driven customer relationships.
