Summary

I have had a varied career that is people and relationship focused. I see my core skills as relationship management and sales. In the past 10 years, I have put my heart and soul into a voluntary organization called CORD - Community Outreach Rugby Development: a trust I set up to mentor and develop youth at risk through sport. This has required me to manage the financial aspects, generate sponsorship, new business development, recruit, manage volunteers and work with various boards and bodies to keep the trust moving forward. I'm proud to say that we had over 1,800 boys through our program in that time. I have worked with various schools as a coach as my main line of income. I believe I can effectively be an account manager retail relationships and assist with sales introductions and conversion into government organizations through my relationships and knowledge, as well as supporting sales growth in Hong Kong and Malaysia where I have many relationships and knowledge of the market. I am attracted by the prospect of working with a team, given my experience in the sports arena, which I think could be relevant. These will include people skills, relationship management and training. Though CORD has been my recent passion, I have a business background to draw on. I have a degree in Business Administration with a major in Finance from San Jose State University. I worked as a FX dealer for BOA for six years, trading currency and SWAPs and managing inter-bank relationships. On the customer service side, I have worked for Planet Fitness on customer relationship management and operations, running the business day-to-day. Prior to that, I was engaged as a Sales Manager for Anchor Enviro Private Limited managing accounts, tender processes, mining sales leads and managing clients. I was also a Customer Service Manager at California Fitness for a period. I left all of this to pursue my passion for community work, sport and the development of youth at risk. CORD will continue as a weekend pursuit, and I will remain committed, but it is time for me to put my efforts and passion into something else I believe in. Change is a good thing, and I am looking for an opportunity to reconnect my business background again back in the corporate world. I'm an experienced sales professional with a solid track record of winning new and repeat Corporate and MICE business for a hotel chain of 3 brands, 24 properties and 2,000 rooms. I'd like to continue that success for an international company that wants to generate more business for every market. Segment with a focus on Corporate, MICE, and Tour and Travel. In each of the past 3 years, I have exceeded my sales quota and helped boost my company's corporate sales revenue. To this end, I am proficient at direct sales solicitation and conducting site inspection trips for major clients, allowing me to understand my clients' paint points and address their needs head-on. I am also proficient with hotel Property Management Systems while negotiating with prospective clients and conduct market research and competitor surveys to better understand the market landscape. Being in sales is something I have always been passionate about, and I am driven by the impact I can have on a company's growth. Balanced Business Development Director ready for new position where talents in forecasting and proposal development can be utilized. Committed to building strong and loyal client relationships and partnerships built on trust. Over 10 years of experience working as business development director in Travel Industry
