Targets motivate you and you consistently hit them. You excel in face-to-face conversations, building instant rapport and long-lasting relationships. Your negotiation skills are strong, your commercial instinct is sharp, and you know how to close deals with confidence and clarity.

You listen deeply, earn trust quickly, and truly understand what customers need to deliver real, measurable value. Organised, structured and relentlessly results-driven, you bring energy, resilience and persistence to every day – and you don’t stop until the deal is done.
