Summary

Entrepreneurial sales strategist with a rare convergence of clinical expertise, C-suite business acumen, and high-stakes stakeholder management forged across three continents. As a Physician Assistant and Medical School Graduate (2022), I bring immediate clinical credibility to medical device sales, having spent a decade mastering medicine while simultaneously building a $500K homecare agency from the ground up in the U.S. healthcare market. My sales DNA traces back to childhood—turning toy sales into profitable ventures by age 10, launching a video game retail operation at 16, and managing enterprise-level negotiations through a decade of NGO leadership and high-level political diplomacy in Ghana. This trajectory cultivated a unique ability to navigate complex B2B healthcare sales cycles: from OR protocol familiarity and surgeon education to GPO contracting and C-suite presentations. I combine boots-on-the-ground healthcare operations (single-handedly scaling a home care startup through regulatory compliance and referral network development) with executive-level influence (diplomatic engagements and national political strategy). This hybrid profile positions me to exceed quota in capital equipment, surgical devices, or specialty pharma by speaking the language of clinicians while driving the business outcomes that matter to hospital administrators.

Professional with extensive experience in founding and managing businesses, demonstrating exceptional leadership and strategic planning capabilities. Proven track record in creating and implementing effective business strategies, fostering team collaboration, and driving growth. Known for adaptability and results-focused approach, excelling in dynamic and fast-paced environments.

Knowledgeable Physician-entrepreneur transitioning clinical expertise to medical commercialization with proven background in founding and leading successful ventures. Demonstrated ability to innovate and drive business growth through strategic planning and effective execution. Leveraged entrepreneurial mindset and leadership skills to build cohesive teams and navigate dynamic market challenges.
